Abstract
Abstract The output of the power unit 21 varies on the basis of the output of the power unit 22, and temperature-compensated in accordance with an ambient temperature. The control is performed by the output voltage control circuit 3. The output voltage of the power unit 21 is varied with an output voltage ratio between the outputs of the power units, and by compensating an output voltage of the power unit 22 in accordance with the ambient temperature, the output voltage of the other power unit 21 can be temperature-compensated by the control circuit 3.
