Abstract

The switching power supply device includes: an input unit which receives an input voltage; a transformer which includes a primary winding and a secondary winding; an output unit which provides an output voltage; a switching element; and a control circuit. The control circuit includes: a T2on measuring unit which measures a secondary-side conduction time period; a frequency control circuit which provides a second signal used for changing an on-frequency of the switching element in order to narrow a difference between the measured secondary-side conduction time period and a reference value; a primary current detecting circuit which detects a primary current; a current comparing circuit which provides a third signal used for turning the switching element off when the detected primary current becomes equal to a threshold value; and an oscillation control circuit which controls on-off switching of the switching element according to the second signal and the third signal.
