Indicator drive circuit |
摘要 |
An indicator drive circuit includes a current mirror circuit including a first transistor located at a control side and a second transistor located at a controlled side, a current through the current mirror circuit being switched by an external control signal, a current source adapted to feed a control current to the first transistor of the current mirror circuit, and a switching element adapted to be driven by a current through the second transistor of the current mirror circuit and to switch on or off an indicator light source. The current source includes two transistors cascode-connected. |

1. An indicator drive circuit, comprising:
a current mirror circuit comprising a first transistor located at a control side and a second transistor located at a controlled side, a current through the current mirror circuit being switched by an external control signal; a current source adapted to feed a control current to the first transistor of the current mirror circuit; and a switching element adapted to be driven by a current through the second transistor of the current mirror circuit and to switch on or off an indicator light source; an inverter that inverts the external control signal, wherein the current source comprises two cascode-connected transistors, and one of the two transistors is controlled by the control signal inverted by the inverter. |
