Abstract
A multiple-output load driving device includes a plurality of output terminals (OUTto OUT) for outputting an output current to each of a plurality of loads (Zto Z), a control portion () configured to select either a non-DC current mode in which a non-DC current is used as the output current or a DC current mode in which a DC current is used as the output current, and a first terminal (MSET). In a case where a low-level signal is supplied to the first terminal, in the non-DC current mode, the non-DC current is outputted from all of the plurality of output terminals. In a case where a high-level signal is supplied to the first terminal, in the non-DC current mode, the DC current is outputted from a predetermined one (OUT) of the output terminals, while the non-DC current is outputted from the other output terminals (OUTto OUT).
