<p>A disclosed constant current supply type switching regulator includes a switching element configured to activate a switch operation depending on an input control signal, an inductor configured to be charged with the input voltage in response to the switching element activating the switch operation, a rectification element configured to discharge the inductor in response to the switching element shifting to a cutoff state, a current detection circuit unit configured to generate a current proportional to a current flowing into the switching element and generate and supply a current sense voltage depending on the proportional current and a control circuit unit configured to average the current sense voltage supplied from the current detection circuit unit and perform PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control on the switching element for supplying a constant current in order to force the averaged voltage to be equal to a first reference voltage. The control circuit unit compares the averaged voltage with the first reference voltage and uses a pulse signal indicative of the comparison to perform the PWM control for supplying the constant current.</p> |
