Abstract
A light source device that supplies a constant current to a diode load that includes a plurality of light-emitting elements connected in series. The light source device includes a power supply circuit connected to the diode load and a peak current limiting circuit connected in series to the diode load. The peak current limiting circuit includes a current detector that is connected in series to the diode load and a current-regulating circuit that controls a current to the diode load by a detection voltage of the current detector. Further, the current detector has a series circuit including a resistor and a coil.
