Abstract
The power supply apparatus includes a detecting unit that has a first detecting device, a second detecting device and a third detecting device, detects a current flowing into the primary winding, and outputs a voltage corresponding to the current, and a control unit that controls a switching operation of the switching element, an output voltage which the detecting unit outputs to the control unit includes a first output voltage at which the control unit stops an operation of the switching element at a time of the second state, a second output voltage at which the control unit stops the operation of the switching element at a time of the first state, a third output voltage at which the second detecting device is brought into a conducting state, and a fourth output voltage at which the third detecting device is brought into a conducting state.
