Abstract
A laser driver IC has an RS flip-flop for latching a signal that indicates an event of fault detection, to output it as an internal fault signal, and a fault signal processing section for generating a disable signal for inactivating the driving function of the laser driver IC in response to output of the RS flip-flop. One of outputs of the fault signal processing section is connected to a fault signal output terminal linked to outside the laser driver IC.
