Abstract
A switching power supply supplies a regulated output voltage and suppresses spike voltage and spike current generated by a switching action of transformers, and suppresses switching frequency drift due to load variation. Output stability of multi-output design is improved and recovery of rectifying diodes by a current resonance are suppressed. A reduction of noise interference to electronic equipments and power loss in the switching power supply itself results. A series connection of a primary winding of a first transformer and a first switching means, which repeats an on/off action is connected across a d-c power source. A series connection of a second switching means, which repeats an on/off action alternately with the first switching means, and a first capacitor is connected in parallel with the primary winding of the first transformer. A series connection of a primary winding of the second transformer and a second capacitor is connected in parallel with the second switching means. Regulated d-c outputs are taken out from each secondary winding of the transformers through rectifiers/filters. A control circuit supplies on/off signals, which on/off-ratios are varied according to o…
