Disclosed are a switch driving device, in which individual zero voltage switching control of a first switch element and a second switch element forming a bidirectional switch is performed, and a switching power supply including a primary winding to which an alternating-current input voltage is applied, a secondary winding electromagnetically coupled to the primary winding, the bidirectional switch connected in series with the primary winding, a resonance capacitor connected in parallel with at least one of the bidirectional switch and the primary winding, a full-wave rectifier circuit that performs full-wave rectification of an induced voltage occurring in the secondary winding, a smoothing capacitor that smooths output of the full-wave rectifier circuit, and the switch driving device that drives the bidirectional switch. The alternating-current input voltage is directly converted into a direct-current output voltage by extracting a flyback voltage or a forward voltage and the flyback voltage from the secondary winding.
