  • Publication number: 20250012899
    Abstract: A drive circuit includes a switch controller, a first monitor, a second monitor, and a safety controller. The switch controller can selectively control a light-emitter apparatus to emit light and stop emitting the light. The first monitor can monitor light-emitting energy of the light-emitter apparatus. The second monitor can monitor a light-emitting duration of the light-emitter apparatus. The safety controller can control the light-emitter apparatus to stop emitting the light by a switch controller in response to at least one of the light-emitting energy reaching a first threshold or the light-emitting time reaching a second threshold.
