Abstract
A switching power supply includes: a transformer; a switching device, which is connected to a primary coil of the transformer; a switching controller; a voltage generation circuit, which rectifies and smooths an AC voltage induced in an auxiliary coil provided on the primary side of the transformer, and output the rectified and smoothed AC voltage as a first DC voltage; and an overvoltage protection circuit, wherein the auxiliary coil and the switching controller are connected via a capacitor, and the switching controller stops the switching control depending on a change in at least one of a current and a voltage between electrodes of the capacitor, the change being caused by a voltage rise of the AC voltage induced in the auxiliary coil.
