Abstract:
A drive circuit is configured to supply a current to a light emitting element. The drive circuit includes a plurality of switching elements configured to switch between ON/OFF states with a modulation signal, a capacitor connected in parallel with the light emitting element, and a control module configured to control the switching elements so that a voltage of the capacitor does not become lower than a threshold.

Claim (Index 5):
The drive circuit according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n an inductor to which a current is input when the first switching element is in an ON state; and a second current detection module configured to detect the current flowing through the inductor, wherein the stop control module controls the modulation signal based on the current detected by the second current detection module.
