Is applied to the base side of the transformer 2 to change the voltage on the primary side 11 of the transformer 2, and as a result, the output voltage of the secondary side 12 of the transformer 2 is changed. , A predetermined voltage corresponding to the temperature characteristic of the thermistor 9 is held. For example, the auxiliary battery 32
When the temperature is low (about −30 ° C.), the resistance value of the thermistor 9 increases, and the voltage V S generated due to the voltage division decreases, which becomes a voltage lower than the reference voltage V REF and the feedback amplifier 71 Output will decrease. Along with this, the potential of the inverting input of the comparator 71 decreases, and a pulse signal with a high duty ratio is T 3 due to the relationship between the inverting input and the triangular wave oscillator 73 connected to the non-inverting input.
It is output from the terminal to the base side of the transistor 5. By applying the pulse signal having the high duty ratio to the base side of the transistor 5, the voltage on the primary side 11 of the transformer 2 becomes high, and as a result, the output voltage of the secondary side 12 of the transformer 2 is increased. Then, the voltage between the terminals of the auxiliary battery 32 rises and converges to a predetermined value.
