- the generated pulse modulation signals Vpl and Vp2 are input to the gate driver 13, and the switching control signals Vplp, Vpln, Vp2p, and Vp2n are generated.
- the switching control signals Vplp, Vpln, Vp2p, Vp2n output from the gate driver 13 are input to the third terminals 42 of the switching elements 101, 102, 103, 104. This As a result, the switching elements 101, 102, 103, and 104 are turned on and off, and the supply control of the current I is performed on the inductive load C1.
- This example shows an example of information equipment provided with the driving device 1 in FIG. 1 or the driving device 2 in FIG.
- FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of an information device including the portable information terminal 200 such as a cellular phone.
- the portable information terminal 200 includes a dynamic spin force as a load (inductive load, capacitive load) or a speaker 201 such as a piezoelectric speaker, and the driving device 1 or FIG. 6 that drives the speaker.
- Drive device 2 an information processing unit 202 having a communication function, an information processing function, and an operation processing function, and a battery 203 that supplies power to drive device 1 or drive device 2, information processing unit 202. is doing.
- the information processing unit 202 outputs the input signal Vin to the driving device 1 or the driving device 2.
- the driving device 1 or the driving device 2 outputs an output signal Vp ⁇ nl to the speaker 201 based on the input signal Vin, and supplies power to the speaker 201.
- the driving device 1 or the driving device 2 and the information processing unit 202 may be integrated as an LSI 204.
- the drive device 1 or 2 is incorporated in the information device 200 and the power supply control to the load is performed, for example, the sound quality of the speaker can be remarkably improved. .
