Abstract

A switching control circuit for a power supply circuit that includes a transformer including primary and secondary coils, and first and second transistors controlling a current flowing through the primary coil. The power supply circuit generates an output voltage at a target level. The switching control circuit controls switching of the first and second transistors. The switching control circuit includes: a drive signal output circuit configured to output drive signals according to a normal mode, when the output voltage is lower than a first level, and output the drive signals according to a burst mode, when the output voltage is higher than the first level; and a driver circuit configured to switch the first and second transistors in response to the drive signals. The drive signal output circuit reduces a first time period in the burst mode, in response to the output voltage rising above the first level.
