1. A power supply circuit comprising:
a plurality of DC/DC converters for respectively generating different voltages;
a detection circuit for detecting an output failure in each of the plurality of DC/DC converters;
a stopping circuit for stopping a DC/DC converter in which the output failure was detected by the detection circuit;
a signal output circuit for outputting a first signal if a specific DC/DC converter of the plurality of DC/DC converters is stopped by the stopping circuit;
recovery means for recovering the specific DC/DC converter when a second signal is inputted after outputting the first signal; and
a reset circuit for, if the stopping circuit stops at least one of the plurality of DC/DC converters other than the specific DC/DC converter, stopping the rest of the plurality of DC/DC converters.
