Abstract
A self-excited DC-DC converter and a power supply device using the same which can produce a constant output voltage for a wide range of input voltage without using high voltage components. The self-excited DC-DC converter includes a first transistor for switching an input DC voltage to produce an output voltage whose voltage value is down converted from the input DC voltage, a primary winding one end of which is connected to a collector of the first transistor, a diode whose cathode is connected to a connection point of the first transistor and the primary winding and whose anode is connected to the ground, a capacitor connected between the other end of the primary winding and the ground, a feedback winding magnetically coupled to the primary winding and connected between a base and an emitter of the first transistor, and a second transistor provided between the base and emitter of the first transistor for bypassing a base current of the first transistor in such a way that the amount of bypassing the base current is regulated in response to a value of the output voltage.
