The switching device is repeatedly turned ON and OFF such that the capacitor is electrically charged from the force in the coil when the switching device is turned off. A charging control circuit turns off the switching device when current flowing through the switching device into the coil is determined to have increased to a switch-off threshold value when the switching device is ON, and turns on the switching device upon determining that the charging current flowing to the capacitor from the coil decreases to a switch-on threshold value when the switching device is OFF. The charging control circuit sets the switch-off threshold value to a larger value as the supply voltage VB is lower. Thus, inadequacy of the step-up capability caused by a drop in the supply voltage VB can be avoided. | 01-15-2009 |
