An object of the invention is to provide a small and low-cost switching power supply unit with a backup function in which a proper circuit construction can be selected by simple method when it is necessary to compensate for the instantaneous drop or power failure and a disk array system having the switching power supply unit. To accomplish the object, a backup unit which can insert and pull out its hot line into a switching power supply unit casing and has a secondary battery and its state monitoring/control unit is built in the unit, and proper charge/discharge management of the secondary battery can be made. When the backup unit is unnecessary, a backup unit formed by a plurality of capacitors whose hot lines can be similarly inserted and pulled out can be built in an enclosing space of the backup unit.

A reliable uninterruptible DC power supply device. The DC backup power supply device includes an AC/DC converter, a DC/DC converter, voltage step-up/down choppers and a battery connected to a DC path of a main circuit connected with a load via a switch, and a microcomputer. In the device, under control of the microcomputer, the voltage step-up/down choppers are first operated under a condition that the MOS FET was turned OFF for self diagnosis of the backup power supply device. Next, the switch is turned ON to execute the remaining self diagnosis. The DC backup power supply device can execute its self diagnosis with a reduced likelihood of danger of exerting an adverse effect on the main circuit and also can exhibit a reliable uninterruptible power supply function.

To provide a smaller and more efficient switching power supply, the switching power supply includes: a high frequency transformer; a primary side switching circuit adapted to switch a current flowing through a primary winding of the high frequency transformer to thereby generate predetermined voltages in a secondary winding and an auxiliary winding of the high frequency transformer; a secondary side rectifier adapted to rectify a voltage generated in the secondary winding to supply the rectified voltage to a load; a charging circuit adapted to rectify a current flowing through the auxiliary winding and to switch the rectified current to thereby charge a secondary battery at a constant current; and a switch, provided between the secondary battery and the load, which supplies, when the voltage supplied to the load is interrupted, the voltage of the secondary battery to the load without going through the high frequency transformer.

In the case where there coexist general loads requiring backup only for a short duration and a specific load requiring backup for a longer duration, uninterruptible power with higher reliability is supplied to the specific load with the adoption of a simple configuration. A DC backup power supply system comprises an AC/DC converter for normally supplying DC power to loads in while (the general loads and the specific load, included), and a control circuit for supplying DC output backing up the loads in whole for relatively short time only from a battery at the time of a power outage, while supplying DC output backing up the specific load, such as a cache memory and so forth, for relatively long time. Thus, it is possible to implement an uninterruptible power supply system small in size and low in cost, provided with a function for proper use depending on a prevailing situation.
