Abstract

The power supply apparatus includes a transformer, at least one switching element provided on a primary side of the transformer and configured to perform a switching operation to output an output voltage from a secondary side of the transformer, and a control unit configured to determine a turn-on time of a pulse signal for controlling the switching element for each of first cycles, and perform a predetermined control in which a change value of the turn-on time of the pulse signal for each of second cycles each including the first cycles becomes smaller than a change value of the turn-on time of the pulse signal for each of the first cycles, to change the second cycle depending on operation states.
