Title: Switching power unit
Inventor: UENO TETSUYA
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switching power unit which can reduce power consumption.  <P>SOLUTION: The current application to a pseudo load resistor R for giving pseudo load to an output terminal 15 is controlled by a transistor TR. When a sleep signal inputted into a sleep signal input terminal 17 is on low level(low load current state-sleep state), the limitation of a base current by a resistor Rd is released, and at the point of time when it comes to a specified current value, the transistor TR is switched on. When the sleep signal inputted into the sleep signal input terminal 17 is on high level ( high load current state), the base current is limited by the resistor Rd, and the transistor TR is switched off. In this power unit, the current flowing to the pseudo load resistor R is limited, and the power consumption in the pseudo load resistor R disappears in high load current state (in image forming action or waiting state) where there is no necessity to give pseudo load between output terminals 15. Therefore, the power consumption can be reduced.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
