A direct current stabilization power supply apparatus, comprising: an output control device which generates a voltage corresponding to a drive current given and outputs it as an output voltage; a direct current stabilization portion which gives the drive current to the output control device to equalize a comparison voltage corresponding to the output voltage with a predetermined reference voltage and makes the output control device generate a desired output voltage; and a drive current limitation portion which monitors the comparison voltage and lowers the drive current according to a drop in the comparison voltage, wherein, when the comparison voltage is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold voltage, the drive current limitation portion carries out an operation to hold the drive current at a predetermined lower-limit current value, or an operation to clamp a lower-limit value of the comparison voltage at a predetermined voltage value. Accordingly, even if the output voltage becomes a negative voltage, it is possible to secure a suitable drive current.
