To provide a power supply apparatus which realizes a high-speed response,
a stable operation, and a low output ripple with low power consumption.
The first stage switching regulator receives an input voltage and forms a
first voltage. The second stage switching regulator receives the first
voltage and forms a second voltage. The second stage switching regulator
includes an N-phase (N is two or more) switching regulator, and the first
voltage is set to be N times a target value of the second voltage. The
input voltage is set to be higher than the first voltage.
