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 2):
The light-emitting element drive device according to  claim 1 , further comprising an abnormal state output unit arranged to output an abnormality flag signal indicating an abnormal state when the output ground fault detection signal indicates an output ground fault, wherein\n the abnormal state output unit outputs the abnormality flag signal indicating a normal state during a period in which the output ground fault detection signal is masked by the mask signal.
