Abstract

A switching power supply which includes a sychronous rectifier circuit that performs sychronous rectification with a main switching element by using rectifying switching elements. When a current begins to flow into the rectifying switching element the rectifying switching element builds up rapidly by the voltage induced in the auxiliary winding of low impedance. Accordingly, the rectifying switching element turns on rapidly at a point showing an approximately maximum current so that the ON-state resistance of the rectifying switching element can be smaller. The voltage induced in the auxiliary winding is fed directly as a drive signal of the rectifying switching element so that the drive signal is not influenced by an output voltage.
