Abstract
A problem of the present invention is to provide a switching power supply device and a pulse width modulation circuit capable of operating stably in synchronization with a clock signal. To solve the problem, a pulse width modulation circuitA in a switching power supply deviceA includes square-wave voltage output meansA for, when an integrated voltage Vrises to an upper threshold voltage or more, shifting a square-wave voltage Vto L level, or when the voltage Vdrops to a lower threshold voltage or less, shifting the voltage Vto H level, and clock meansA for outputting a first clock signal Vand a second clock signal V, which are 180° out of phase from each other. The square-wave voltage output meansA is adapted to: (1) if the clock signal Vchanges while the voltage Vis dropping, shift the voltage Vto H level even when the voltage Vhas not yet reached the lower threshold voltage; and (2) if the clock signal Vchanges while the voltage Vis rising, shift the voltage Vto L level even when the voltage Vhas not yet reached the upper threshold voltage.
