A supply voltage control device for an amplifier that controls a supply voltage for the amplifier has been improved. The supply voltage control device includes: a supply voltage control circuit including an error amplification circuit that feeds an error current so as to control the supply voltage for the amplifier, and a direct current feed circuit that feeds a direct current (or the direct current and a current of a low-frequency component); a high-frequency component extraction unit that extracts a predetermined high-frequency component contained in a signal resulting from detection of an envelope relevant to a signal to be amplified by the amplifier; a peak hold unit that performs peak hold processing on a signal of the extracted high-frequency component; and an addition unit that adds up a signal based on the result of detection of the envelope relevant to the signal to be amplified by the amplifier, and the signal resulting from the peak hold processing, and inputs a signal resulting from the addition to the supply voltage control circuit.

Disclosed are a variable gain differential amplifier, and variable degeneration impedance control device and method for use in the variable gain differential amplifier, which can adjust an amplification gain and ensure linearity. A DC level of a differential signal to be amplified by the amplifier is adjusted according to a control signal to adjust a gain of the amplifier, and the impedance of a variable degeneration impedance part is adjusted according to the differential signal of which the DC level is adjusted. That is, the gain of the differential amplifier is adjusted and the linearity is ensured by varying the impedance of the variable degeneration impedance part using the differential input signal of which the DC level is adjusted.

An image forming apparatus for stabilizing image densities of a high-density image by devising shapes of test patches is provided. A test pattern image is created by adhering toner to a plurality of test patches having respectively different line area rates of 100% or less. An amount of adhering toner for a line area rate of 100% is calculated by detecting the amount of the toner adhering to the test pattern image. Then, process conditions are controlled so that the calculated amount of the adhering toner reaches a predetermined value. By doing so, the amount of the adhering toner of the high-density image is accurately controlled.
