Power supply device and electronic control unit for lowering a minimum operating voltage and suppressing a consumed current to be low
A power supply device comprises: a first linear regulator, which receives a voltage from a direct-current power supply at all times and outputs a first voltage; a step-down switching regulator, which receives the voltage from the direct-current power supply through a path via a power supply switch and outputs an intermediate voltage, and a second linear regulator, which receives the intermediate voltage and outputs a second voltage. The power supply device outputs a higher one of the first voltage and the second voltage. The first linear regulator has a smaller current consumption and a higher minimum operating voltage than the second linear regulator. When the voltage supplied from the direct-current power supply is lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the switching regulator drives a main switching component interposed in series with a voltage input-output path to turn on at all times. The second linear regulator executes an output operation of the second voltage during a full-on period, during which the main switching component is driven to turn on at all times.
