Abstract

An output stabilization circuit ( 1 ) includes: a primary-side circuit ( 2 ) including a self-oscillation circuit ( 10 ) connected to a DC power supply; and a secondary-side circuit ( 3 ) obtaining an output voltage by oscillation of the self-oscillation circuit, wherein the self-oscillation circuit includes a drive transformer of which a secondary-side coil is connected to a gate electrode of each of a plurality of switching elements connected in a half-bridge configuration or a full-bridge configuration, a feedback transformer of which a primary-side coil is connected to a power transmission coil, and a phase shift filter that is connected between a secondary-side coil of the feedback transformer and a primary-side coil of the drive transformer and includes a primary-side control coil having a characteristic that an inductance changes in accordance with a current flowing through a secondary-side control coil of the secondary-side circuit.
