Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can reduce the generation of noise.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus comprises: a heater 101; a heater 102 that has a smaller rate power than that of the heater 101; a heater control part 48 that outputs first and second controls signals that synchronize at the same duty ratio and repeat on and off; a chopper circuit 113 that supplies, to the heater 101, a first driving current switched by using the first control signal; and a chopper circuit 114 that supplies, to the heater 102, a second driving current switched by using the second control signal. The time constant of the circuits is set so that the change of the second driving current becomes slow compared with the change of the first driving current, and the second driving current is reduced and reaches zero during a period from when the second control signal is changed to off until when the second control signal is then changed to on for every cycle of the second control signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ノイズの発生を抑制できる画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】ヒーター101、ヒーター101より小さい定格電力を有するヒーター102、同一のデューティ比で同期してオンとオフを繰り返す第一及び第二制御信号を出力するヒーター制御部48、第一制御信号を用いてスイッチングされた第一駆動電流をヒーター101に対して供給するチョッパ回路113、第二制御信号を用いてスイッチングされた第二駆動電流をヒーター102に対して供給するチョッパ回路114を備える。第二駆動電流の変化が、第一駆動電流の変化と比較して、緩慢となり、かつ、第二制御信号の周期毎に、第二制御信号がオフに変化してから次にオンに変化するまでの間に、第二駆動電流が低下してゼロに至るように、回路の時定数が設定されている【選択図】図5
