Abstract
A power supply device includes n power supply circuits connected in parallel and a controller to control a number of the operating power supply. The controller includes n detectors, a comparator, and an on/off controller. The n detectors are respectively connected to the n power supply circuits. The n detectors receive feedback current from the number of operating power supply circuits. The comparator compares the feedback current with predetermined first and second reference currents and outputs first, second, and third state signals. The on/off controller determines the number of the operating power supply circuits according to a cumulative number of each of the first to third state signals during a predetermined window section, and controls a on/off state of the power supply circuits according to the determined number.
