Abstract
A switching power supply apparatus, including a power converting device body configured to switch DC input power through a first switching element to thereby store the DC input power in an inductor, and to transfer the stored power to an output capacitor through a second switching element by use of resonance of the inductor, a control circuit configured to drive the first and second switching elements to alternately turn ON or OFF the two switching elements, to thereby resonate the inductor, and an overload detecting circuit configured to detect a load state of the power converting device body based on a peak value or an effective value of a resonance voltage generated from the resonance of the inductor, to thereby control operation of the control circuit.
