Claim:
1. A switching power-supply device, which applies a DC voltage obtained by rectifying input voltage of an AC power source to a primary winding of a transformer and performs a switching operation of a switching element connected to the primary winding of the transformer to generate a pulse voltage on a secondary winding of the transformer and output an output voltage to a load, the output voltage being rectified and smoothed by a rectification and smoothing circuit of a secondary side having a rectifier diode and a smoothing capacitor, the switching power-supply device comprising: an error amplifier, which compares the output voltage with a reference voltage and sends an error voltage as a feedback signal to a primary side; a frequency generation circuit, which generates a switching frequency according to the feedback signal; an off timing determination circuit, which determines a timing at which the switching element is turned off, by comparing a signal depending on the feedback signal with a current flowing through the switching element; and a frequency correction circuit, which corrects the switching frequency generated by the frequency generation circuit, according to an on-duty of the switching element, wherein the frequency correction circuit generates a correcting current that increases as the on-duty increases, and wherein the frequency correction circuit superimposes the correcting current on the current flowing through the switching element, which is compared with the signal depending on the feedback signal by the off timing determination circuit.
