A control and driving device of a high voltage power supply (HVPS) of an electronic apparatus, such as an image forming apparatus, including an input to receive a signal supplied to the HVPS, a control and driving circuit to control and drive the signal received at the input, and an output to output the controlled and driven signal to a transformer of the HVPS, wherein the input, control and driving circuit, and output are integrated into one physical module.

Modular control and driving device and high voltage power supply having the same for image forming apparatus

A switching power source apparatus includes a converting unit to convert a voltage level of power, a first switch to switch power supplied to the converting unit, a second switch connected in series with the first switch and turned on after the first switch has been turned on, and a voltage clamp unit to clamp a level of a voltage applied across the series connection of the first switch and the second switch to a predetermined voltage or less.

Switching power source apparatus and control method thereof

A switching power source apparatus includes a storage unit to store energy obtained from input power supplied to the storage unit, and to output at least of the stored energy as output power; a first switch; a second switch connected in series with the first switch, the series connection of the first switch and the second switch being connected to the storage unit; and a voltage clamp unit to clamp a level of a voltage applied across the series connection of the first switch and the second switch to a predetermined voltage or less. The first switch is turned on while the second switch is still turned off, and then the second switch is turned on after the first switch has been turned on to supply the input power to the storage unit from the series connection of the first switch and the second switch.
