  • Patent number: 9735691
    Abstract: A power supply device includes: a switching element that performs synchronous rectification on a power to be induced in a first secondary wiring of a transformer that performs voltage conversion; a first current detection circuit that detects a value of a current to be induced in a second secondary wiring of the transformer; a second current detection circuit that detects a change in the current to be induced in the second secondary wiring, the second current detection circuit having a higher response speed with respect to conversion of the current than that of the first current detection circuit; and a control unit (control circuit) that determines based on the change in the current detected by the second current detection circuit whether or not backflow is occurring, and controls the switching element in accordance with a result of the determination.

  • Patent number: 9698697
    Abstract: A storage (80) stores a first drooping characteristic of a rated current Ioc1, and a second drooping characteristic of an allowable current value Ico2 that is greater than the rated current value Ioc1. A controller (70) is configured to select a drooping characteristic stored in the storage (80) in accordance with the current value detected by an output current detector (50) and a mask condition, and perform droop control.
