Abstract

A switching power supply is provided which includes: an output port; a transformer; a first voltage divider circuit, configured to divide a feedback voltage to obtain a first divided voltage; and a primary controller, configured to control a current of the primary winding of the transformer; where the primary controller includes: a first comparison module, configured to compare the first divided voltage with a first reference voltage to obtain a first comparison result; a second comparison module, configured to compare the power supply voltage with a second reference voltage to obtain a second comparison result; and an open circuit protection module, configured to generate an open circuit protection signal, where the primary controller is configured to stop control of the primary winding in response to the open circuit protection signal. The present disclosure can efficiently detect disconnection of the up-sampling resistor of the switching power supply and provide open-circuit protection.
