Methods and apparatuses for generating DC stabilized power are described.
A DC stabilized power supply apparatus includes a voltage switching
control circuit and first and second power supply circuits. The voltage
switching control circuit generates first and second voltage switching
signals in accordance with at least one voltage switching signal. The
first power supply circuit converts a power source voltage into a first
direct current voltage in accordance with the first voltage switching
signal. The second power supply circuit converts the first direct current
voltage into a second direct current voltage in accordance with the
second voltage switching signal. In this apparatus, the voltage switching
control circuit controls the first power supply circuit to generate the
first direct current voltage such that the first direct current voltage
is a minimal input voltage needed for the second power supply circuit to
generate the second direct current voltage.
