Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In some aspects of the invention, a load state detecting circuit is configured so that a threshold voltage for determining the size of a load of a DC-DC converter is set in the load state detecting circuit based on a maximum value of an output voltage of a power factor correction converter in an operation-stopped state of the power factor correction converter, so that the load state detecting circuit outputs an operation-enable signal when a feedback voltage indicating the size of the load of the DC-DC converter exceeds the threshold voltage. Thus, by way of some aspects of the invention, it is possible to provide a switching power supply device which can control enabling and stopping operation of a power factor correction converter reliably in accordance with a load state of a DC-DC converter obtaining a predetermined DC output voltage by switching an output voltage of the correction converter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A switching power supply device comprising: a power factor correction converter which obtains a DC voltage by switching an input AC voltage; a DC-DC converter which obtains a predetermined DC output voltage by switching an output voltage of the power factor correction converter; and a load state detecting circuit which outputs an operation-enable signal for the power factor correction converter in accordance with a load state of the DC-DC converter to t…
