A transient voltage compensation apparatus and a power supply using the same are provided. The power supply mainly uses a compensation circuit coupled between an input terminal and an output terminal of a power converter. When a load of the power supply is switched in a very short time, a power coupled to the compensation circuit is retrieved to compensate the output of the power supply, such that the output voltage is kept steady, and the transient response of the power supply is increased.

A boost converter includes a first boost conversion unit and a second boost conversion unit. Coils of the first boost conversion unit and the second boost conversion unit are coupled with each other. Due to coupling of the coils, the second boost conversion unit releases energy while the first boost conversion unit stores energy in a period of time. Furthermore, due to coupling of the coils, the first boost conversion unit releases energy while the second boost conversion unit stores energy in another period of time. The two boost conversion units operate alternately, thereby adjusting switching loss and averaging output power of components. Furthermore, as switching frequency increases, the coil inductance, as well as the capacitance required in the two boost conversion units can be reduced correspondingly, thus substantially enhancing responses of the two boost conversion units as a whole.
