Abstract
A switching power supply device has a synchronized rectifying element that turns on and off complementarily with a main oscillation element that is connected in series with an input power supply, and a parasitic diode that is connected to the two ends of the synchronized rectifying element in a direction enabling current supply toward a smoothing circuit. The device has a control circuit that generates a control pulse according to which a time delay is set for turning on the main oscillation element after a certain period of time elapses after the synchronized rectifying element is turned off, and that drives the main oscillation element and the synchronized rectifying element. An auxiliary rectification circuit has a series circuit formed by an auxiliary switch element and an auxiliary capacitor driven by the control circuit (PW2) and which is provided between the two ends of the parasitic diode.
