Abstract
A power supply device includes: a power supply circuit that converts an AC voltage into a DC voltage; and a control circuit that controls the power supply circuit, wherein the power supply circuit includes: a rectifying and smoothing circuit that rectifies and smoothes the AC voltage; a first voltage converting circuit that converts the voltage and outputs a first DC voltage; a second voltage converting circuit that switches the first DC voltage by a switching circuit to output a second DC voltage; a feedback circuit that detects and feeds back an output voltage of the first voltage converting circuit; and a selection circuit that switches a reference voltage of the feedback circuit, and the control circuit sets the switching circuit to be in a continuous connection state when a normal mode is shifted to a power saving mode and gradually switches the reference voltage.
