Abstract: A power supply unit designed to control a power output and protect an overload easily, economically with little loss. A DC output which is generated by smoothing a rectified current of a rectifier circuit connected to an AC power source is subjected to switching by a switching circuit, creating an AC output which is supplied to a current resonance circuit. A peak detection circuit detects the peak voltage of a resonance voltage of this current resonance circuit. On the basis of a comparison output of the voltage comparator comparing the peak voltage to the reference voltage of a reference voltage source, the switching frequency of the switching circuit is controlled by a switching control circuit so that it is controlled to cause the peak voltage to match the reference voltage. In this manner, the output power is maintained on the constant level.

Abstract: A current detecting circuit detects amplitude of a current flowing toward the connecting point of a first transistor and a serial circuit through a second transistor and a comparing circuit compares amplitude of the current detected by the current detecting circuit with the reference value. An oscillation control circuit controls a control current supplied to an oscillating circuit in order to raise the oscillation frequency of the oscillating circuit when amplitude of the current detected by the current detecting circuit is smaller than the reference value as a result of comparison by the comparing circuit in view of preventing the oscillation frequency to be further lowered. Therefore, it is no longer required to design the apparatus by giving allowance to take into consideration the temperature characteristics and fluctuation of parts unlike the related art in which the minimum oscillation frequency of the oscillating circuit is set. Accordingly, variable range of the oscillation frequency can be expanded.
