Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the latch-up of an IC by connecting a diode to the power supply terminal of a C-MOS type IC in the forward direction with respect to each of the power supply voltage outputs from two or more power supply circuits and operating the same with the max. voltage. CONSTITUTION:For example, in the output power control circuit of the laser diode LD of a laser printer, an LD power control circuit 2 automatically changes an 8-12-bit power data signal S2 on the basis of the power control signal S1 of a CPU 1 and said signal S2 is converted to analogue quantity by a D/A converter 3 composed of a C-MOS type IC to control the output power of an LD drive circuit 4. The main power supply from the LD drive circuit 4 and the auxiliary power supply from the LD power control circuit 2 are supplied through diodes D2, D1 respectively connected in a forward direction and the D/A converter 3 is operated by the higher voltage from either one of both power supplies. By this method, even when a front stage circuit is turned ON and an IC is turned OFF, the power supply output of the front stage circuit is inputted and the latch-up of the C-MOS type IC can be prevented.
