Dependent power supplying apparatus and electronic instrument

An electronic instrument including a semiconductor power supplying system driven by at least one power source, said semiconductor power supplying system comprising:

• a power supplying circuit that converts electrical power from the power source and supplies at least two driven circuits with the converted electric power in accordance with voltages that the driven circuits need;
• and
• a power supplying control signal generation circuit that generates a power supplying control signal for controlling operations of the power supplying circuit, on a basis of a driven circuit power supplying condition signal for determining a power supplying condition of the at least two driven circuits,
• wherein said power supplying control signal generation circuit determines an order of supplying power to the at least two driven circuits such that supply of the converted electric power to a first driven circuit of the at least two driven circuits depends on supply of the converted electric power to a second driven circuit of the at least two driven circuits,
• wherein the power supplying control signal generation circuit generates a power supplying control signal to supply the first driven circuit with converted electric power only after a driven circuit power supplying condition signal for the second driven circuit indicates an ON condition of the second driven circuit and a driven circuit power supplying condition signal for a third driven circuit of the at least two driven circuits indicates an ON condition of the third driven circuit.
