The invention aims at putting a single ended resonance type converter
capable of obtaining a ZVS operation over an overall corresponding load
region to practical use. A switching power supply circuit includes a
primary side switching converter of a class-E resonance type, and a choke
coil of a primary side series resonance circuit of the class-E resonance
type converter is used as a primary winding of an insulating converter
transformer. With this structure, a choke coil winding to be inserted
into an input line of a DC input voltage is arranged between a
positive-polarity end portion of a smoothing capacitor, and a node
between the primary winding and a primary side series resonance
capacitor. Thus, a resonance pulse voltage generated in the choke coil
winding is superimposed on an AC voltage in the primary winding. Also, a
primary series resonance current is caused to separately flow through the
choke coil winding.
