Abstract:
To provide a power supply apparatus that can boost input voltage from a low-power input source. A power supply apparatus is provided, including: an inductor connected to an input terminal to which input voltage is applied; a first switch connected between a point between the inductor and an output terminal, and a ground terminal; a drive unit operating the first switch using a signal having amplitude corresponding to the input voltage; and a control unit controlling operation of the first switch and/or outputting of output voltage from the output terminal, according to the output voltage output at the output terminal, wherein the control unit has a first hysteresis comparator, for controlling operation of the first switch, detecting the output voltage output at the output terminal, and/or a second hysteresis comparator, for controlling outputting of the output voltage, detecting the output voltage output at the output terminal.

Claim (Index 6):
The power supply apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising a second switch between the inductor and the output terminal, wherein\n the control unit turns on the second switch and causes outputting of the output voltage to be started upon detection at the second hysteresis comparator that the output voltage is equal to or higher than a third threshold, and thereafter turns off the second switch and causes outputting of the output voltage to be stopped upon detection at the second hysteresis comparator that the output voltage is equal to or lower than a fourth threshold.
