Abstract

See full text

A liquid discharging apparatus includes a modulation portion that generates a modulation signal obtained by pulse-modulating a source signal; a switching element that generates an amplification modulation signal obtained by amplifying the modulation signal; a low-pass filter that generates a driving signal by demodulating the amplification modulation signal; a piezoelectric element that is displaced by applying the driving signal; a selection portion that is configured to include a transistor and selects whether or not the driving signal is applied to the piezoelectric element; and a detection portion that detects lowering of a power source voltage supplied to the selection portion. The detection portion performs control for lowering a voltage of the driving signal if lowering of the power source voltage is detected.
