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 3):
The power supply circuit according to  claim 2 , wherein the adjustable current circuit includes:\n an inductor connected to the thermoelectric conversion element in series; a first switching element connected to the inductor in series; a current detection circuit connected to the inductor in series and configured to detect the value of the current from the thermoelectric conversion element; a second switching element connected in series between a connection point of the inductor and the first switching element and another terminal of the first switching element; a capacitor connected in series with the second switching element between the second switching element and the another terminal of the first switching element; and a driver circuit configured to output pulse signals to the first switching element and the second switching element, the pulse signals causing one of the first switching element and the second switching element to turn ON and the other of the first switching element and the second switching element to turn OFF.
