The present invention provides a voltage resonant converter that achieves
ZVS over the entire allowable load range. A switching power supply
circuit includes a class-E resonant converter as its primary-side
switching converter that is supplied with a DC input voltage arising from
the rectification and smoothing of a commercial AC voltage by a rectifier
circuit (including a smoothing capacitor Ci). A choke coil of a
primary-side series resonant circuit in the class-E switching converter
is used as a primary winding N1 in an isolation converter transformer
PIT. The total coupling coefficient between the primary side and
secondary side is set to about 0.65 by the coupling coefficient of the
isolation converter transformer PIT itself and equivalent parallel
connection between a choke coil L10 and the primary winding N1. The
resonant frequency fo1 of a primary-side parallel resonant circuit and
the resonant frequency fo2 of the primary-side series resonant circuit
are set to almost the same value of about 60 kHz.
