Abstract:
A power supply device including a first power supply, a second power supply, a voltage control unit (VCU) stepping up a voltage from an input terminal to an output terminal, and an electronic control unit (ECU) is provided. The VCU includes an upper arm, a lower arm, a reactor having one end connected to the input terminal and the other end connected to a connection midpoint between the upper arm and the lower arm, and a current sensor acquiring a value of a current flowing in the reactor. At startup of the VCU, after performing a startup control that gradually increases a duty ratio of a transistor of the lower arm while turning off a transistor of the upper arm, the ECU performs a normal control that complementarily drives the transistors. During the startup control, the ECU determines whether to terminate the startup control using the acquired current value.

Claim (Index 7):
The power supply system according to  claim 3 , wherein the voltage converter comprises a smoothing capacitor connected to the positive electrode and a negative electrode of the input terminal, and\n the reactor current acquisition part is a current sensor that generates a signal corresponding to a current flowing between the positive electrode of the input terminal and the reactor or between the reactor and the connection midpoint.
