Abstract: A synchronous rectification type DC-DC converter equipped with a burst mode prevents backward flows of currents on the secondary side thereof. The DC-DC converter turns off a control signal of a switching element on the primary side when the load thereof becomes light, and includes a voltage converting transformer, a first switching element connected to the primary side coil of the transformer, a primary side control circuit performing on-off control of the first switching element, a synchronously rectifying second switching element connected to the secondary side coil, and a secondary side control circuit performing on-off control of the second switching element. A pulse width ensuring circuit ensures that the pulse width of the control signal performing on-off control of the first switching element does not become equal to or less than the original width of a PWM pulse when entering the burst mode and when exiting the burst mode.

Abstract: Disclosed a switching power source apparatus including: a transformer including a primary winding and a secondary winding; a switching element to intermittently apply a voltage to the primary winding by an on-off operation; and a synchronous rectifying element to rectify a current in the secondary winding, wherein the switching power source apparatus is a flyback system switching power source apparatus to receive input of electric power from a primary winding side to perform voltage output to a secondary wiring side, and the switching power source apparatus further comprises a load detection circuit to compare an output voltage to be output onto the secondary winding side with a voltage at a node between the synchronous rectifying element and the transformer by adding predetermined weighting to the voltages to be compared so as to generate a signal indicating a magnitude of an output load.
