Provided is a power supply apparatus which includes a comparator, an output
voltage adjusting unit, a controller, and an output unit. The comparator compares
a sensed AC input voltage to a reference voltage and outputs one of first through
third comparison result signals. The output voltage adjusting unit outputs one
of first through third output voltage level adjustment signals for changing the
feedback output voltage level according to one of the comparison result signals.
The controller outputs a switching signal. The output unit outputs a predetermined
voltage by regulating and smoothing an input voltage induced to a secondary coil
of a transformer by the switching signal. By adjusting the output voltage of a
boost converter according to the input voltage, efficiency is increased because
there is less power loss of the switching component, and the hold-up time may be
adjusted even in a case of low AC input voltage.
