ABSTRACT:
A switching regulator including: a switching element connected to an input DC signal and operating for turning-on and -off the input DC signal to produce an AC signal such as a rectangular wave signal; a rectifier for rectifying the AC signal thereby generating an output voltage; a circuit for producing a frequency-variable triangular wave signal having a constant amplitude; a comparator for comparing the triangular wave signal with the output voltage of the rectifier thereby obtaining a pulse-width modulated signal used for controlling the operation of the switching element; a modulation signal generator for generating a modulation signal having an amplitude variable in asynchronism with the frequency of the triangular wave signal; a sampling and holding circuit for sampling the modulation signal at a timing in synchronism with the frequency of the triangular wave signal or preferably at the timing of a maximum or minimum value of the triangular wave signal and holding the sampled modulation signal; and a circuit for modulating the frequency of the triangular wave signal preferably within a range of about 0.8 to 1.2 times of a predetermined center frequency based on the voltage value of the modulation signal as sampled and held.
