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 5):
The light-emitting element drive device according to  claim 4 , wherein the drive signal output unit outputs to the transistor control unit the drive signal that turns on the drive in the whole period during which the output ground fault detection signal is masked by the mask signal starting from timing of starting to generate the PWM signal.
