A switching power supply circuit includes a primary side series resonant
circuit forming a current resonant converter, and a secondary side series
resonant circuit formed by at least a secondary winding and a secondary
side series resonant capacitor, whereby a coupling type resonant circuit
is formed by magnetic coupling of an isolated converter transformer. In
order to obtain a unimodal characteristic for this coupling type resonant
circuit, the total coupling coefficient of the isolated converter
transformer is set to 0.65 or lower. For power factor improvement, a
power factor improving circuit of a power regeneration system or a
voltage feedback system is provided.
