A switching power supply circuit includes a switching element, a converter
transformer, a secondary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit, a
switching element control unit, a choke coil, a primary-side series
resonant circuit, a primary-side parallel resonant circuit, and a series
circuit. The switching element implements switching for a direct-current
(DC) voltage to convert the voltage into an alternating-current (AC)
voltage. The choke coil is supplied with the voltage and is connected to
one winding end of the primary winding and one terminal of the switching
element. The primary-side series resonant circuit connects a primary-side
series resonant capacitor, having a resonant frequency dominated by a
leakage inductance. The primary-side parallel resonant circuit connects a
primary-side parallel resonant capacitor in parallel to the switching
element, having a resonant frequency. The series circuit is formed of a
clamp capacitor and an auxiliary switch element which conducts in a
non-conducting period of the switching element.
