Abstract

An overcurrent protection circuit of a switching power supply apparatus, wherein a rectangular wave voltage is formed from an input voltage by the ON/OFF operation switching means, and an output voltage is formed by smoothing the rectangular wave voltage by using an inductance device and a capacitor, restricts overcurrent by detecting the peak current of a current flowing through the switching means and by using an input voltage Vin, an output voltage Vout and a voltage proportional to the ON/OFF ratio D of the switching means.
