Abstract
An electronic control device includes: a thermoelectric element module that has a plurality of thermoelectric element groups, which are connected in parallel; and a control circuit that supplies a driving power to the thermoelectric element module to perform an operation control of the thermoelectric element module. Additionally, the plurality of thermoelectric element groups respectively have a plurality of thermoelectric elements, which are connected in series. Moreover, each of the plurality of thermoelectric elements is provided with a pair of a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor. Furthermore, the plurality of thermoelectric element groups have different number of the thermoelectric elements.
