Abstract

A power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope includes a light source unit including an input portion that a control signal is input from an output control unit, the light source unit switching a brightness of the illumination light by the control signal and a control signal cable connected to the output control unit and the input portion, and including a current control signal line to transmit the control signal, and a GND line. The power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope further includes a common-mode rejecting portion provided in the input portion, connected to the control signal cable, and rejects noise superimposed on the control signal cable.

Claims (14)

1 . A power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope, comprising:

a light source unit including a control signal input portion that an analogue control signal is input from an output control unit that outputs the control signal to control a light source portion that emits illumination light, the light source unit switching a brightness of the illumination light by the control signal;

a control signal cable connected to the output control unit and the control signal input portion, and including a current control signal line to transmit the control signal, and a GND line; and

a common-mode rejecting portion provided in the control signal input portion, and rejects noise superimposed on the control signal cable.

2 . The power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope, according to claim 1 , wherein

the common-mode rejecting portion includes a differential amplifier circuit.

3 . The power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope, according to claim 1 , wherein

the common-mode rejecting portion includes a common-mode choke coil.

4 . The power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope, according to claim 1 , wherein

the common-mode rejecting portion includes an instrumentation circuit.

5 . An endoscopic system comprising:

a light source portion emitting illumination light;

an output control unit outputting an analogue control signal to control the light source portion; and

the power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope according to claim 1 .
