Abstract
A switching power supply that can suppress output variation at a time of transition of a control mode from a non-linear control mode to a linear control mode. The switching power supply includes instruction value forming circuitry that forms, in a linear control mode, a linear control instruction value for linearly control a switching circuit based on an error of an output voltage, and forms, in a non-linear control mode, a non-linear control instruction value for non-linearly control the switching circuit. The instruction value forming circuitry predicts, in the non-linear control mode, a linear control instruction value suited to the load current in the non-linear control mode, and uses the predicted linear control instruction value for an initial value of the linear control instruction value at a time of transition from the non-linear control mode to the linear control mode.
