Abstract: A power supply device includes a first converter which converts an input voltage to a first voltage, a second converter which converts the first voltage from the first converter to a second voltage, a voltage comparison section which compares the first voltage outputted from the first converter with a predetermined reference voltage, a voltage comparison result output section which outputs a first signal until the first voltage is determined to be higher than the predetermined reference voltage by the voltage comparison section and retains a second signal as an output after the first voltage is determined to be higher than the predetermined reference voltage, and a converter control section which controls the second converter to stop when the first signal is outputted from the voltage comparison result output section and controls the second converter to operate when the second signal is outputted from the voltage comparison result output section.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope includes a light source unit including an input portion that a control signal is input from an output control unit, the light source unit switching a brightness of the illumination light by the control signal and a control signal cable connected to the output control unit and the input portion, and including a current control signal line to transmit the control signal, and a GND line. The power supply apparatus for a light source of an endoscope further includes a common-mode rejecting portion provided in the input portion, connected to the control signal cable, and rejects noise superimposed on the control signal cable.
