A secondary side series resonant circuit formed by at least one secondary
winding and a secondary side series resonant capacitor is provided
together with a secondary side series resonant circuit forming a current
resonant converter, whereby a coupling type resonant circuit is formed by
magnetic coupling of an isolated converter transformer. For this coupling
type resonant circuit to obtain a unimodal characteristic, a gap G formed
in a core of the isolated converter transformer PIT is set to about 2.4
mm, and a coupling coefficient k is set to k=0.65 or lower. Thereby, the
variable control range of switching frequency can be reduced, and a wide
range-ready configuration can be realized. Also, since the variable
control range of the switching frequency can be thus reduced, cross
regulation of secondary side direct-current output voltage -Eo can be
improved.
