and step five, outputting the voltage by the voltage output end of the DCDC power supply module or the chip according to the feedback signal received by the feedback input end.
8. The method of driving a semiconductor laser based on a DCDC power module or chip of claim 7, wherein:
the third step also comprises that the MCU control unit judges whether the luminous power of the semiconductor laser meets the requirement or not according to the backlight monitoring feedback value of the semiconductor laser, if not, a control signal is sent to the feedback network, and the driving current of the semiconductor laser is adjusted through the feedback network.
