Abstract
A power supply control apparatus, includes: a driver configured to respectively drive an output transistor and a synchronous rectification transistor configured to generate an output voltage from an input voltage and supply the output voltage to a load; and a controller configured to, in a light load mode in which output feedback control is performed such that a switching frequency of the output transistor becomes lower as the load becomes lighter, during an off period from a time at which both the output transistor and the synchronous rectification transistor are turned off to an on timing of the output transistor based on the output feedback control, periodically turn on the synchronous rectification transistor within a range in which the switching frequency does not fall below a predetermined lower limit value.
