Title: Switching power supply device
Inventor: HOSOTANI TATSUYA
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 2011-02-16
Abstract: A first switching element (Q1) is controlled by driving voltage (Vgs1) outputted from a switching control IC (81). A second switching control circuit (61) controls the on time of a second switching element (Q2) so that the time ratio of the on time of the second switching element (Q2) to the on time of the first switching element (Q1) is substantially constant with respect to the change of a load current. In a normal load state, a rectangular wave outputted from a frequency setting unit in the switching control IC (81) is outputted without change, and consequently a converter operates in a current continuous mode. In a light load mode, a driving signal generation unit in the switching control IC (81) is blanked in the cycle of a signal outputted from a maximum frequency setting unit to thereby decrease the oscillation frequency, and consequently the converter operates in a current non-continuous mode.
