In a power supply device including a PWM-controlled DC/DC converter which
changes an output voltage on the basis of a setting signal, and a control
unit, the DC/DC converter includes a circuit for changing a dead-time
control voltage in accordance with a control signal. A dead-time control
circuit is arranged, which sets the ON duty of a PWM main switching
element at a predetermined time constant in accordance with the dead-time
control voltage. The control unit outputs the setting signal and control
signal. In this arrangement, an input rush current generated in changing
the output voltage during operation can be reduced, and the time required
for causing the output voltage to reach the setting value can also be
shortened.
