Conventionally, a thermal fixing apparatus contained in an image forming apparatus has a heater like a halogen heater or a film-heating type heater. Generally, the heater comprises a plurality of heat generating elements connected to an AC power supply. Since the thermal fixing apparatus has a plural of heat generating elements, it needs a switching control elements corresponding to the number of heaters. The switching control elements causes a need for being increased in size so as to cope with energizing of large current of driving the heater. For the purpose of solving the above problem, an apparatus requiring only a small number of semiconductor switching elements is provided.
