Abstract
A power supply apparatus of the present invention has an input terminal and an output terminal, and converts an input voltage at the input terminal into a predetermined output voltage at the output terminal. The power supply apparatus includes first and second power supply circuits and a smoothing capacitor. The first power supply circuit is coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal, and converts the input voltage into a predetermined voltage to output the predetermined voltage. The smoothing capacitor is coupled to the output terminal. The second power supply circuit outputs a predetermined voltage or current to the output terminal via the smoothing capacitor, based on a feedback signal corresponding to the predetermined output voltage.
