Abstract:
A power supply apparatus is provided, that supplies a bus voltage V BUS  to a detachable device. A DC/DC converter generates a DC voltage V OUT  used as the bus voltage V BUS . A USB controller receives the DC voltage V OUT  as a power supply voltage, and detects whether or not the device is connected. The DC/DC converter generates the DC voltage V OUT  such that (i) when the device is detected, the DC voltage V OUT  has a specified voltage level, and such that (ii) when the device is not detected, the DC voltage V OUT  has a voltage level that is lower than the specified voltage level and that is higher than a minimum operating voltage level required to operate the USB controller.

Claim (Index 6):
The bus controller according to  claim 1 , wherein the feedback circuit further comprises a voltage dividing circuit that divides the DC voltage with a variable voltage dividing ratio so as to generate the detection voltage,\n and wherein the feedback control unit switches the voltage dividing ratio of the voltage dividing circuit so as to switch the voltage level of the DC voltage.
