There is provided a power-supply circuit for supplying voltage to a load,
having a power supply that generates power-supply voltage, an inverted
outputting circuit having a positive voltage terminal for outputting
positive voltage based on the power-supply voltage and a negative voltage
terminal for outputting negative voltage generated based on the
power-supply voltage and having different polarity from the positive
voltage and outputting the positive and negative voltage while keeping
the same direction in terms of directions of electric current flowing
between the positive voltage terminal and the outside and of electric
current flowing between the negative voltage terminal and the outside, a
step-down output circuit for outputting predetermined step-down output
voltage to the outside by connecting the positive and negative voltage
terminals to the outside while switching them with a predetermined duty
ratio and a step-up output circuit for supplying step-up output voltage
whose absolute value is greater than that of the step-down output voltage
by switching whether or not to connect the step-down output circuit to
the load with a predetermined duty ratio.
