Abstract:
In a power supply control apparatus, a control circuit adjusts a resistance between a drain and a source of a semiconductor transistor by adjusting the voltage at a gate of the semiconductor transistor. After the control circuit has lowered the resistance between the drain and the source, a control portion determines whether or not the voltage at the source detected by a voltage detecting portion is larger than or equal to a standard voltage. If the voltage at the source is larger than or equal to the standard voltage, the control circuit again lowers the resistance between the drain and the source. If the voltage at the source is smaller than the standard voltage, the control circuit adjusts the resistance between the drain and the source to a resistance at the time when determination was performed or larger.

Claim (Index 1):
A power supply control apparatus that includes a semiconductor transistor for outputting a current that is input to its input terminal, from its output terminal to a capacitive load, and an adjusting portion for adjusting a resistance between the input terminal and the output terminal of the semiconductor transistor, and controls power supply to the load by adjusting the resistance with the adjusting portion, the power supply control apparatus comprising:\n a detecting portion for detecting a voltage at the output terminal; and a determining portion for determining whether or not the voltage at the output terminal detected by the detecting portion is larger than or equal to a predetermined voltage, after the adjusting portion has lowered the resistance, wherein the adjusting portion again lowers the resistance if it is determined by the determining portion that the voltage at the output terminal is larger than or equal to the predetermined voltage, and if it is determined by the determining portion that the voltage at the output terminal is smaller than the predetermined voltage, adjusts the resistance to at least the resistance at the time when the determining portion performed the determination.
