Abstract:
Provided is a light-emitting element drive device including a transistor control unit arranged to drive and control a transistor connected to a light-emitting element, an output ground fault detection unit arranged to output an output ground fault detection signal corresponding to the voltage level at a connection node between the light-emitting element and the transistor, a stop control unit arranged to stop driving the transistor when the output ground fault detection signal indicates an output ground fault, and a mask signal generation unit arranged to generate a mask signal that masks the output ground fault detection signal on device startup.

Claim (Index 3):
The light-emitting element drive device according to  claim 2 , further comprising a reference voltage generation unit arranged to generate a reference voltage from a power supply voltage, wherein\n operation of the output ground fault detection unit starts when the reference voltage rises to reach a predetermined UVLO release voltage on device startup, and the mask signal generation unit generates the mask signal that rises to a masking level responding to rising of the reference voltage on device startup.
