A power supply device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: determine a duty ratio of a control signal of a switching element in a power supply circuit so that an output voltage of the power supply circuit approaches a target voltage; compute an acceptable range of a duty ratio based on an output current of the power supply circuit detected by a current detecting circuit; output the duty ratio when the duty ratio is inside the acceptable range; and stop the power supply circuit when the duty ratio is outside the acceptable range.
