Abstract
The power supply apparatus includes a switching element configured to drive a transformer, a primary side and a secondary side of the transformer being insulated from each other, a control unit configured to output a pulse signal for driving the switching element, and a comparing unit configured to compare a target voltage of an output voltage that is output from the secondary side of the transformer and the output voltage, and to control the output voltage to be the target voltage, wherein the comparing unit cuts off an input of the pulse signal to the switching element in a case where the output voltage is larger than the target voltage, and wherein the control unit determines a frequency or an on-duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the target voltage.
