Abstract
A light emitting device driving circuit capable of, at all times, securing a constant optical output by a simple configuration even in a case of driving a light emitting device having characteristics changing according to temperature fluctuations, provided with a driving transistor for feeding a bias current and a pulse current to a light emitting device having a grounded-cathode, an adjusting resistor for adjusting the pulse current and bias current fed to the light emitting device, and a resistive dividing circuit comprising series-connected dividing resistors for individually setting the pulse current and bias current, the series-connected dividing resistors being constituted by a temperature dependent resistive unit.
