The present invention provides a control power supply capable of stably
operating to output a desired voltage as electric power, even when the
input voltage thereof varies over a wide range.A power supply includes a
rectification circuit 2 for rectifying the AC output from a power
generator 1 and a non-insulation type DC/DC converter 3 for stepping down
the DC output from the rectification circuit 2. A self-excited
oscillation type converter (RCC) 4 is provided at the following stage of
the non-insulation type DC/DC converter 3. The input voltage which has
been stepped down by the converter 3 is input to the primary side of the
RCC 4, and the RCC 4 stably operates with the input voltage which varies
largely to supply, from its secondary side, a power supply to an ECU 5 or
the like.
