Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment, a voltage control apparatus comprises a pulse width control section, a pulse width modulation wave generation section, a variable amplifier control section and a variable amplifier. The pulse width control section specifies the pulse width of the pulse width modulation wave. The pulse width modulation wave generation section generates a pulse width modulation wave having the pulse width specified by the pulse width control section. The variable amplifier control section generates a GAIN signal for scaling up/down the pulse width modulation wave generated by the pulse width modulation wave generation section. The variable amplifier scales up/down the pulse width modulation wave generated by the pulse width modulation wave generation section according to the GAIN signal generated by the variable amplifier control section and outputs the scaled up/down the pulse width modulation wave.
