    摘要: An electric power supply control device comprises AC/DC converter, DC/DC converters, and an output electrical voltage monitor unit of the AC/DC converter. When output electrical voltage of the AC/DC converter increases to the first preset value P1, the AC/DC converter stops the convert. When the output electrical voltage decreases to the second preset value P2, the AC/DC converter restarts the convert. The first preset value P1 is equal to or less than the lowest value, out of the upper limit values in electrical voltage ranges in which the DC/DC converters CV1 and CV2 can work. The second preset value P2 is more than or equal to the highest value, out of the lower limit values in electrical voltage ranges in which the DC/DC converters CV1 and CV2 can work.

    摘要: A power supply control device including a chopper circuit generating a heater current for a halogen heater, a current feedback circuit generating a current feedback signal indicating a current amount based on an amount of the heater current, and a constant current circuit performing pulse-width modulation of the heater current amount according to a difference between a target heater current amount and the current amount indicated by the current feedback signal. The current feedback circuit switches between methods at least including a first method and a second method for generating the current feedback signal. The current feedback signal indicates a greater current amount with the first method than with the second method, and the current feedback circuit uses the first method during a period with a predetermined time length starting from when the halogen heater is turned on, and uses the second method after elapse of the period.
