Decrease in a voltage supplied to a load caused by load fluctuations is minimized. A pulse frequency modulated signal generating unit 13 outputs a signal PFMOUT having a pulse frequency modulated according to a voltage supplied to the load 20. A pulse width modulated signal generating unit 14 outputs a signal PWMOUT having a pulse width modulated according to a voltage supplied to the load 20. In a state where the signal PFMOUT is selected, a selection unit 17 refers to a determination result of a frequency determining unit 15 and selects the signal PWMOUT as on/off signal for a semiconductor switch 11 when a low-level period in one cycle of the signal PFMOUT is not more than a predetermined time period. In a state where the signal PWMOUT is selected, the selection unit 17 selects the signal PFMOUT as on/off signal for the semiconductor switch 11 when a voltage determining unit 16 detects that a DC voltage (VOUT) at the load 20 exceeds a predetermined voltage.
