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 14):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the control circuit is configured to control the driver circuit to change the pulse durations of the first and second portions in the pulse signal supplied to the first switching element based on a value of the current passing through the first switching element.
