Abstract
A voltage conversion unit converts a voltage input from a power supply unit side and applies an output voltage between first and second conductive paths. A control unit performs feedback control to control the voltage conversion unit so that the output voltage matches a target voltage. A drive unit causes current from the first conductive path to flow toward a current input unit when a cutoff condition is met. A current limiting unit limits current flowing from the power supply unit side to the voltage conversion unit side. The parallel switch is provided in parallel with the current limiting unit. The control unit starts the feedback control in a state where the cutoff condition is not met. When the cutoff condition is met, the parallel switch switches to an on state, and current flows from the power supply unit side to the voltage conversion unit side via the parallel switch.
