PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driver circuit capable of reducing a loss caused by an excessive base current, by varying the base current depending on a collector current. SOLUTION: A circuit for detecting a saturation voltage of a power transistor, and for controlling the base current for driving the power transistor, is added. Namely, in a driver circuit for driving the power transistor by periodically varying the collector current, between a current source and the collector of the power transistor, a plurality of transistors short-circuiting between the collectors and the bases are connected in series. The current flowing in the base of the power transistor being connected to the current source is varied depending on the collector current. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
