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 8):
The power supply system according to  claim 2 , wherein the control device sets a duty ratio of the switching element of the upper arm in the normal control based on the duty ratio of the switching element of the lower arm in the duty cycle during which it is determined to terminate the startup control.
