Abstract
A switching power supply unit comprises: a transformer, a main switching element, a rectifying smoothing circuit, a mode switching circuit and a delay circuit. The transformer has a primary winding, a secondary winding and a bias winding. The main switching element is connected to the primary winding and receives an output of the bias winding as a positive feedback so as to form a ringing choke converter operating in self-excitation oscillation. The rectifying smoothing circuit is connected to the bias winding. The mode switching circuit is turned on and off depending on whether or not the rectifying smoothing voltage of the rectifying smoothing circuit is a threshold voltage or higher. The delay circuit is coupled to the mode switching circuit and is connected between the main switching element and the bias winding and delays the output of the bias winding and applies the delayed output to the main switching element. The delay circuit lengthens a turn-on delay time when the mode switching circuit detects an output voltage of the rectifying smoothing circuit which is less than the threshold voltage.
