Abstract: A power supply controller controls the output of a DC/DC converter, so that the power output can be used not only by an electrical power steering apparatus, but by other operating/driving controllers as well. The controller may command the DC/DC converter to reduce the voltage of the high-voltage battery to a prescribed voltage or to boost the voltage of the low-voltage battery to a prescribed voltage when appropriate. In addition, the controller may also command the gradual reduction of the power supplied by the DC/DC converter to the power steering apparatus. The gradual reduction in power prevents a sudden change in the steering feel, which improves drivability of the vehicle.
