Abstract

According to the switching supply such as a DC/DC converter, since primary side coils provided in two transformers are mutually connected in series, voltage variation generated in parallel-connected secondary side coils can be suppressed, and the uniformity of secondary side parallel output can be enhanced even in case of voltage value fluctuations or the like caused by variation in the output of an inverter circuit.

Claims (22)

1. A switching supply comprising:

an input part;

an output part;

a first transformer having a first coil group;

a second transformer having a second coil group;

an inverter circuit connected between the input part and an input terminal of the first and second transformers;

a rectifier smoothing circuit connected between the output part and an output terminal of the first and second transformers;

a first coil pair having a primary side coil and a secondary side coil magnetically coupled;

a second coil pair having a primary side coil and a secondary side coil magnetically coupled;

a third coil pair having a primary side coil and a secondary side coil magnetically coupled; and

a fourth coil pair having a primary side coil and a secondary side coil magnetically coupled;

wherein the first coil group has the first and third coil pairs,

the second coil group has the second and fourth coil pairs,

the primary side coils included in the first and second coil pairs are mutually connected in series between an input terminal of the first transformer and an input terminal of the second transformer,

the primary side coils included in the third and fourth coil pairs are mutually connected in series between an input terminal of the first transformer and an input terminal of the second transformer,

the secondary side coils included in the first and third coil pairs are mutually connected in parallel to the output part, and

the secondary side coils included in the second and fourth coil pairs are mutually connected in parallel to the output part.

2. The switching supply according to claim 1 , wherein the first coil group and the second coil group are each arrayed on a same axis.

3. The switching supply according to claim 2 , wherein the primary side coils of the first coil pair and the primary side coils of the second coil pair are formed on a same substrate, and

the primary side coils of the third coil pair and the primary side coils of the fourth coil pair are formed on a same substrate that differs from the substrate where the primary side coils of the first coil pair and the second coil pair are formed.

4. The switching supply according to claim 1 , wherein the AC resistance of the primary side coils included in the first and fourth coil pairs, and the AC resistance of the primary side coils included in the second and third coil pairs are set such that one becomes alternately higher than the other, in synchronization with the switching of the inverter circuit.

5. A switching supply, wherein the switching supply according to claim 1 is a DC/DC converter.
