Abstract
A semiconductor light-emitting device driving apparatus is disclosed with a semiconductor light-emitting device. In the semiconductor light-emitting device driving apparatus, a switching power supply outputs a driving current for driving the semiconductor light-emitting device, and a switching element controls the driving current to be turned on and off. A PWM modulator generates a PWM modulation signal for controlling the switching element to be turned on and off based on a PWM setting value inputted from outside, and a feedback circuit drives and controls the switching power supply based on the driving current and a target current value that is externally inputted. The feedback circuit drives and controls the switching power supply such that an average value of the driving current for an interval when the driving current flows is equal to the target current value.
