A power supply circuit is disclosed which performs constant voltage
control by switching frequency control and is ready for a wide range
while the necessary control range of the switching frequency control is
reduced. The circuit includes a primary side series resonance circuit
forming a current resonance type converter, and a secondary side series
resonance circuit formed from secondary windings and secondary side
series resonance capacitors while a coupling type resonance circuit by
electromagnetic coupling of an insulating converter transformer is
formed. To obtain a single-humped characteristic from the coupling type
resonance circuit, a gap of approximately 1.6 mm is formed in the core of
the insulating converter transformer so as to achieve a coupling
coefficient of 0.65 or less. A secondary side DC output voltage is
produced from outputs of the secondary windings so as to cope with a
heavy load condition.
