A power control device includes non-volatile memory, a controller, and a logic circuit. The non-volatile memory includes a function of externally outputting a logical state of a bit stored in a specific area as a state hold signal that indicates an ON/OFF state of a device function unit before a power cutoff. The controller controls the ON/OFF state of the device function unit and also writes the ON/OFF state of the device function unit to the specific area of the non-volatile memory. The logic circuit controls power supply to the controller on the basis of a logic level of the state hold signal from the non-volatile memory.

Power control device, electrical apparatus, and image forming device

A processing apparatus includes following components. Processing units each operate when being supplied with power. A first detector detects an object entering a first detection area. A second detector detects an object entering a second detection area. A first controller controls power supply to the processing units and the first and second detectors. At a start of a power-saving mode, the first controller stops supplying power to the second detector and at least one processing unit and supplies power to the first detector. After the start of the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the second detector when the first detector detects an object entering the first detection area. When the second detector detects an object entering the second detection area in the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the at least one processing unit so as to cancel the power-saving mode.
