There is provided a switching power supply device of hysteresis current
mode control system which assures excellent response characteristic for
change of output current and reduction of power consumption. In a
switching regulator of hysteresis current mode control system, a sense
resistor connected in series to a coil is eliminated, a serially
connected resistor and a capacitor are connected in parallel to a coil in
place of such sense resistor. Thereby, a potential of a connection node
of these resistor and capacitor is inputted to a comparator circuit
having the hysteresis characteristic for comparison with the reference
voltage. Accordingly, a switch may be controlled for ON and OFF states.
