Abstract
A switching power supply unit includes: a transformer; an inverter circuit including first to fourth switching devices, first to third capacitors, first and second rectifying devices, a resonant inductor, and a resonant capacitor; and a driver. The first to fourth switching devices are coupled in series. The first and second capacitors are coupled in series. The first rectifying device is disposed between a first connection point between the first and second capacitors and a second connection point between the first and second switching devices. The second rectifying device is disposed between the first connection point and a third connection point between the third and fourth switching devices. The third capacitor is disposed between the second and third connection points. The resonant capacitor, the resonant inductor, and a primary winding are coupled in series between a fourth connection point between the second and third switching devices and the first connection point.
