Abstract

A power source device includes a transformer including a primary winding and a secondary winding; a first switch portion connected with the primary winding in series; a circuit including a capacitor and a second switch portion connected in series and connected with the primary winding in parallel; a controller for controlling conduction between the first switch portion and the second switch portion, wherein the first switch portion and the second switch portion are alternately conducted to generate an output voltage at a secondary side of the transformer, a detecting portion for detecting a current flowing through the first switch portion. The controller controls conduction of the first switch portion and the second switch portion so that a value of the current detected by the detecting portion does not exceed a threshold depending on conduction times of the first switch portion and second switch portion.
