Abstract:
This light emission control circuit controls a first switching element for controlling a current that flows to a light-emitting element connected between a first node and one end of an inductor, and a second switching element for controlling a current that flows from the other end of the inductor to a second node. The light emission control circuit has a driving circuit that generates a first control signal for controlling the first switching element, and a switching control circuit that generate a second control signal for controlling the second switching element, and deactivates the second control signal in order to bring the second switching element into an off-state, during a period during which the first switching element is in an off-state.

Claim (Index 12):
A light source apparatus comprising:\n the light emission control circuit according to  claim 1 ; the light-emitting element, the inductor, the first and second switching elements; a capacitor connected between one end of the inductor and a first node; and a diode connected between the other end of the inductor and the first node, wherein when the first and second switching elements are in an on-state, a current flows to the light-emitting element and the inductor, and energy is accumulated in the inductor, when the first switching element is in an on-state and the second switching element is in an off-state, a current flows to the light-emitting element and the diode due to energy accumulated in the inductor, and when the first switching element is in an off-state and the second switching element is in an on-state, a current flows to the capacitor and the inductor, and energy is accumulated in the inductor.
