A power supply apparatus supplies power to one of an interior circuit and external instruments. The power supply apparatus includes a voltage regulator that regulates and outputs a constant voltage through an output driver by comparing the power with a regulator reference voltage, and a power supply voltage detecting device that detects a power supply voltage and determines if the power supply voltage is less than a power supply reference voltage based upon the output of the voltage regulator.
