Abstract

See full text

A power control circuit includes a control circuit configured to perform a soft start operation before a power supply device performs a normal operation. The power control circuit also includes a counter circuit configured to divide a switching frequency of the power supply device in the normal operation, wherein the counter circuit measures a period of the soft start operation and when the period lasts for a set length, starts to divide the switching frequency, and wherein the power control circuit causes a comparator comprising the counter circuit to compare the frequency obtained by dividing the switching frequency with a reference frequency and corrects the switching frequency.
