Temperature control device and image forming apparatus
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, the temperature control device is a temperature control device for controlling temperature of a temperature controlled target to which heat is propagated from a heater by supplying power to the heater, the device including: a temperature estimation unit; a duty generation unit; and a signal generation unit. The temperature estimation unit estimates the temperature of the temperature controlled target based on the duty value. The duty generation unit generates the duty value based on the temperature estimation result by the temperature estimation unit, the temperature detection result of the temperature controlled target by the temperature sensor, and the target temperature. The signal generation unit outputs an energization pulse for controlling the power supplied to the heater based on the duty value.
