Abstract
A switching power supply, in which a series circuit consisting of a primary winding of a transformer and a controllable switch is connected with a DC power source and a secondary winding of the transformer is connected with a first voltage source outputting the voltage developed across the secondary winding during the on-period of the controllable switch and a second voltage source storing the exciting energy of the transformer during the off-period of the controllable switch by using the exciting inductance of the transformer as a current source, a series circuit consisting of the first and the second voltage sources being connected with a load. Owing to this construction, even if voltage-current characteristic of a load having constant voltage characteristic, such as a magnetron, vary due to variations in the temperature, etc., the output voltage is automatically compensated and a stable electric power can be supplied to the load.
