Abstract
In a switching power supply device in which an operation reference voltage of a control circuit has an electric potential identical to that of a connection point between a switching element and a coil that is an energy conversion circuit, an output voltage detection circuit includes: a rectification circuit which converts an output voltage into a voltage signal rectified relative to the operation reference voltage terminal of the control circuit; and a voltage-to-current converter which is connected between an input terminal of a current detection circuit and the rectification circuit, and which converts the rectified voltage signal into a current signal. The current detection circuit is a sampling type which detects a current by sampling the current signal applied to the input terminal of the current detection circuit.
