Abstract

A boost quantity detecting section () detects a boost quantity of an inductor (L). An operational amplifier () of a control section () compares the boost quantity detected by the boost quantity detecting section () with a reference voltage (ES). When a supply voltage supplied from an AC power source () reduces and an output voltage is unchanged, the boost quantity detected by the boost quantity detecting section () increases. When a signal level of a boost quantity detection signal is higher than the reference voltage (ES), a control section () reduces a target level of a switching current. The target level of the switching current decreases, so that the output voltage decreases and energy loss due to boosting reduces.
