    Abstract: A switching power supply includes: a switching output circuit configured to generate an output voltage from an input voltage by charging a capacitor by turning on and off an output transistor; a control circuit configured to halt the driving of the switching output circuit when charging electric charge to the capacitor per switching event is limited to a lower limit value and the output voltage, or a feedback voltage commensurate therewith, is raised from a predetermined reference voltage; and a lower limit value setting circuit configured to variably control the lower limit value during the driven period of the switching output circuit. For example, the lower limit value setting circuit can increase the lower limit value with increase in the number of times of switching.

    Abstract: An output feedback control circuit includes, as a means for generating an error signal ERR between a feedback voltage FB commensurate with an output voltage and a reference voltage REF (means for substituting for a single error amplifier 140), a first signal processor (for example, an amplifier 140a) that forms a first path, and a second signal processor (for example, an amplifier 140b) that forms a second path. The amplifier 140a is more accurate than the amplifier 140b, and the amplifier 140b is faster than the amplifier 140a. To the output terminal of the amplifier 140a, preferably, a capacitor Cc other than a parasitic element is connected. To the output terminal of the amplifier 140b, preferably, no capacitor other than a parasitic element is connected, and a resistor Rc is connected. Preferably, the amplifier 140a has a transconductance gm1, and the amplifier 140b has a transconductance gm2 (≠gm1).
