Abstract:
A power supply circuit includes a thermoelectric conversion element configured to generate electric power when it is differentially heated, an adjustable current circuit configured to draw a current from the thermoelectric conversion element and resultantly output a constant current over a period of time, a voltage conversion circuit configured to output a voltage based on the current output by the adjustable current circuit, and a control circuit configured to control the adjustable current circuit to change a target value of the constant current output by the adjustable current circuit.

Claim (Index 7):
The power supply circuit of  claim 6 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to generate and transmit a control signal to the driver circuit to:\n vary the duration of the pulse durations of the first and second portions, during a first time period, in the pulse signal supplied to the first switching element; and in response to the detected current passing through the first switching element in the first time period, in a second time period after the first time period, increase the duration of the first portion of the pulse if the detected current passing through the first switching element increases, maintain the duration of the first portion of the pulse if the detected current passing through the first switching element does not increase or decrease, and reduce the duration of the first portion of the pulse if the detected current passing through the first switching element decreases.
