A power supply device includes a plurality of DC voltage generating
circuits that share a voltage control circuit controlling a voltage to be
supplied to a voltage stabilizing capacitor. The voltage control circuit
and the DC voltage generating circuits are controlled so that supplying
voltage to the capacitor is stopped to stop output, that a first DC
voltage generating circuit among the plurality of DC voltage generating
circuits is driven for a predetermined time period and is then stopped,
and that supplying voltage to the capacitor is started and also a second
DC voltage generating circuit among the plurality of DC voltage
generating circuits starts to be driven to output a positive bias, in
order to sequentially perform a stop of output from the first DC voltage
generating circuit and a start of output from the second DC voltage
generating circuit. Accordingly, overshoot of an output voltage is
prevented.
