A power supply apparatus includes a switching regulator, a series
regulator, and a controller. The switching regulator performs start and
stop operations in response to a first control signal and generates a
first constant voltage in response to a first voltage switching signal to
output the second constant voltage. The series regulator performs start
and stop operations in response to a second control signal and generates
a second constant voltage in response to a second voltage switching
signal to output the second constant voltage. The controller generates
the first and second control signals and the first and second voltage
switching signals and controls the switching regulator and the series
regulator to simultaneously operate for at least a predetermined time
period using the first and second control signals, respectively, and such
that an output voltage of the switching regulator is greater than an
output voltage of the series regulator.
