A non-control detection protecting circuit is prevented from malfunctioning when a switching converter is started. A latch control circuit 40 makes a non-control detection discrimination signal SDT invalid during a soft start operation. Moreover, a driving circuit 33 stops driving signals SD1 and SD2 for a predetermined period after it is detected that an overload state is set based on the non-control detection discrimination signal SDT, and a soft start circuit 35 is then controlled to carry out the soft start operation. Thus, an intermittent operation is carried out. Furthermore, the soft start control circuit 35 is controlled by the intermittent operation control circuit 50, resulting in the completion of the discharge of a capacitor 36 which sets a soft start period when the soft start operation in the intermittent operation is started.

A DC-DC converter includes a switching unit having a pair of switching devices or transistors, a resonant circuit comprising a capacitor, an inductor, and a primary coil of a converter transformer which serves as an inductor, a smoothing and rectifying circuit connected to a load in the secondary, an error amplifier for the output voltage, and a variable oscillator for varying the switching frequency according to the error voltage. The output of the variable oscillator circuit is supplied to the switching devices to provide a stabilized output voltage from the smoothing and rectifying circuit. The switching frequency during light loading is set at a frequency more than the resonant frequency which is mainly defined by the inductance and the interwinding capacitance of the secondary coil. The switching frequency to stabilize the output voltage during light loading is much higher than that during heavy loading, significantly reducing the exciting current component during light loading to enhance the energy conversion efficiency during light loading.

A magnetoresistive head whose operation depends on a magnetoresistive effect is configured using a ferromagnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) film, which is arranged between a lower electrode and an upper electrode. The ferromagnetic tunnel junction film is basically configured using a set of a free layer, a barrier layer and a fixing layer, which are sequentially formed and laminated on the lower electrode. Herein, the ferromagnetic tunnel junction film is designed to avoid electrostatic destruction in manufacture by prescribed measures. For example, the barrier layer is reduced in thickness at a terminal portion as compared with a center portion. Or, the barrier layer has a defect at the terminal portion. In addition, it is possible to provide a conductor in connection with the barrier layer in proximity to its terminal portion. Further, it is possible to attach re-adhesive substance, which is produced by milling for patterning of the ferromagnetic tunnel junction film, to a specific terminal surface of the ferromagnetic tunnel junction film which is opposite to an ABS plane. Those measures provide a bypass allowing overcurrent release between the free layer and fixing layer. Moreover, adjustment milling or plasma oxidation is employed to control an amount of the re-adhesive substance being attached to the terminal surface of the ferromagnetic tunnel junction film. Thus, by adequately optimizing the amount of the re-adhesive substance, it is possible to improve yield in manufacturing the magnetoresistive heads.

When a relay (21) is controlled, an AC voltage (1) may be rectified in a full-wave rectification fashion. In a voltage-doubler rectification fashion, and a rectified output supplied to a main converter (6) or the AC voltage (1) may be rectified in a half-wave rectification fashion, and a rectified output supplied to a standby converter (10). A just detection circuit (23) detects a rectified voltage of the standby side, and a detection circuit (24) may detect a rectified voltage supplied to the main converter (6). The first and second voltage detection circuits (23) and (24) control operations of relay drive circuits (21D and 22D) based on both detection signals so that any one of two relay contacts (21a and 22a) may be turned on. Since a voltage of the rectified output supplied to the main converter (6) may be detected and its detection signal also may be used for control, a detection timing can be made fast so that, even when the voltage of the commercially-available voltage is fluctuated suddenly, the rectification systems can be switched immediately.

A power supply apparatus includes a variable frequency oscillating circuit, a driver, a soft start circuit, switching elements for receiving a switching signal, a resonating capacitor connected at a connection point of the switching elements via a primary coil of a transformer, a rectifying circuit provided at a secondary coil of the transformer, an amplifier for comparing an output voltage, Vb obtained at the rectifying circuit and a reference voltage, Vref, a photo-coupler for controlling an impedance of an oscillating element of a variable frequency oscillating circuit based on the comparison output, and a charge voltage control circuit for controlling an oscillation frequency when the variable oscillation circuit is initially driven. A frequency control signal when power is ON is made nonlinear relative to time. As a result, a change in oscillation frequency immediately after power is ON is made gentle, and a rapid change in current that flows in a primary coil is eliminated. Therefore, no over-current flows in the switching elements, damage to switching elements can be reduced more significantly than conventionally, and these switching elements can be reliably protected.
