ABSTRACT:
A switching power device uses a non-capacitor flyback converter circuit not provided with a smoothing input capacitor having a large capacity. Therefore, a power harmonic can be suppressed and a rush current preventing element is not required. A fluctuation in an output current to be supplied to a load is fed back to the non-capacitor flyback converter circuit by a feedback circuit at a lower speed than an input AC frequency. Therefore, it is possible to improve a power factor by causing an input AC current to be proportional to an input AC voltage. A voltage control circuit controls an output voltage so as to have a constant voltage, and the output voltage is dropped in proportion to an output current when the output current exceeds a threshold. Therefore, it is possible to have the same output characteristic as a power device comprising a low frequency power transformer.
