Abstract

There is disclosed a current balancing circuit for use in a switching power supply unit that operates in parallel with one or more other switching power supply units with current balancing terminals connected to each other. The current balancing circuit comprises a first resistor that receives a detection signal of the output current input via a diode and outputs an output current detection voltage; a second resistor connected between the current balancing terminal and a connection point between the first resistor and the diode; an operational amplifier that outputs a signal corresponding to the different between the output current detection voltages; and a switching circuit.
