Abstract:
A power supply device includes: a power supply; a conversion module including a plurality of conversion units configured to perform voltage conversion of power supplied by the power supply; a change unit that an operation number, which is the number of the conversion units performing the voltage conversion; and a control unit that supplies a control signal having a predetermined duty ratio to the conversion unit and controls the conversion module. When the change unit changes the operation number, the control unit gradually increases a first duty ratio, which is a duty ratio of the control signal supplied to a conversion unit for starting or stopping the voltage conversion to a second duty ratio, which is a duty ratio of the control signal supplied to a conversion unit for continuously performing the voltage conversion, at a predetermined change rate, or gradually decreases the first duty ratio to zero.

Claim (Index 5):
The power supply device according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the change rate of the first duty ratio with the change in the operation number becomes smaller as the amount of change in the current flowing through the conversion unit for continuously performing the voltage conversion before and after the change in the operation number or the amount of change in the current flowing through the conversion unit for start or stopping the voltage conversion during the change in the operation number is large.
