A fly-back type synchronous rectifying switching power supply device in
which a rectifying element is turned off before the main switch is turned
on even when the on-time of a main switch element is lengthened due to
sudden variation of a load. The synchronous rectifying switching power
supply device is equipped with a synchronous rectifying element connected
to a secondary winding of a transformer in series and driving means
including an auxiliary winding for turning on the synchronous rectifying
element complementarily with a main switch element between output
terminals. A transistor serving as interrupting means for turning off the
synchronous rectifying element is provided between the gate and source of
the synchronous rectifying element. An off-timing at which the
synchronous rectifying element is turned off by the interrupting means is
set within a timing range which corresponds to a fixed time after the
main switch element is turned on and also is as near as a fixed driving
period of the main switch element.
