Abstract
A switching power supply which is capable of generating several different output voltages and which can be easily miniaturized by using a transformer with a small number of terminals. For example, using a transformer with four terminals and three windings that are connected in series, a rectifying-smoothing circuit having a diode and a capacitor is connected to a connection point of the collector of a switching transistor and the windings. A further pair of rectifying-smoothing circuits having diodes and capacitors is commonly connected to one end of the windings, according to one example. As a result thereof, three voltages are generated.
