Abstract:
A temperature control device controls a temperature of a temperature control target to which heat propagates from a heater by supplying power to the heater and includes a control circuit. The control circuit includes a temperature estimation unit and a control signal generation unit. The temperature estimation unit estimates the temperature of the temperature control target based on conduction to the heater. The control signal generation unit outputs a conduction pulse for controlling power to be supplied to the heater based on a temperature estimation result and a temperature detection result of the temperature control target by a temperature sensor.
