Abstract: A power supply apparatus for an endoscope includes a plurality of power supply circuits, a plurality of power changeover switches, and a power control circuit. The power control circuit performs an operation to determine, when one power changeover switch provided on one power supply line connecting one power supply circuit of the plurality of power supply circuits and one electronic part of the plurality of electronic parts in each order of the power-on sequence is set to off, whether an output voltage of the one power supply circuit is normal or not and an operation to start a supply of one drive voltage required to drive the one electronic part according to a judgement result that the output voltage of the one power supply circuit is normal.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an endoscope having a position/angle sensor and an amplifying circuit, a memory configured to store output error sensitivity data and a first wiring resistance value, and a processor including a signal processing circuit configured to process an output signal from the amplifying circuit. The signal processing circuit corrects an error of the output signal based on a value obtained by multiplying a difference between the first wiring resistance value and a processor wiring resistance value by the output error sensitivity data.
