摘要:
A switching power supply circuit reduces the time from start-up driving to normal operation while a soft-start is carried out with an output voltage Vout. A soft-start capacitor is charged during the start-up time. After a soft-start voltage Vz has reached a predetermined signal-output starting voltage Vlow, soft start of the output voltage Vout is carried out by controlling the operation based on the soft-start voltage Vz. A time constant for charging the soft-start capacitor is set as a time constant that causes the charge voltage of the soft-start capacitor to sharply increase at least until the soft-start voltage Vz reaches the signal-output starting voltage Vlow after the circuit has started driving, and is switched to a time constant that causes a rising trend of the charge voltage of the soft-start capacitor to become gentle with a predetermined time-constant switching timing. The start-up time is reduced by an amount equivalent to a reduction in the delay time from the start of driving to the start of voltage output.

A transformer of a switching power-supply circuit is placed and mounted nearly in the middle area of a circuit board. The transformer is of a low-profile type, and a broad and flat upper surface of the transformer functions as a suction surface for a suction nozzle. When a surface-mount type switching power-supply unit is mounted in a mother board, firstly, the upper surface of the above transformer is held by the suction nozzle, the surface-mount type switching power-supply unit is transferred to a target mounting area on the mother board by the suction nozzle, and the surface-mount type switching power-supply unit is surface mounted in the mother board. Because it is not required to provide a nozzle suction surface for the suction nozzle's exclusive use, transfer molding is not needed, and accordingly a low-profile and low-cost surface-mount type switching power-supply unit can be facilitated.

A switching power-supply module includes a coil pattern of a transformer or an inductor disposed on a substrate. A portion of the coil pattern projects into an edge portion of the substrate. A plurality of terminals are arranged in the substrate edge portion so that they do not touch the coil pattern. The substrate edge portion is soaked in molten solder in the production procedure in order to fix the terminals onto the substrate with solder after components are solder-connected on the substrate. For this reason, the components were previously prohibited from being mounted in the substrate edge portion, and this region has been previously considered to be a dead space. However, in the present invention, since a portion of the coil pattern projects into the substrate edge portion, dead space is minimized, and the size of the substrate, that is, of the switching power supply module is greatly reduced.

A secondary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit rectifies and smoothes an output voltage from a secondary coil of a transformer and outputs a rectified and smoothed voltage to the outside. A tertiary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit rectifies and smoothes an output voltage from a tertiary coil to produce a direct-current voltage and detects and outputs the direct-current voltage as a detected voltage of the output voltage from the secondary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit. A control circuit controls the switching operation of a main switching device on the basis of the detected voltage so that the output voltage is stabilized. The secondary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit includes a rectification-side synchronous rectifier and a commutation-side synchronous rectifier as rectifying devices. The tertiary-side rectifying and smoothing circuit includes a commutation-side synchronous rectifier as a rectifying device that rectifies the output voltage from the tertiary coil, the commutation-side synchronous rectifier being switched on when the main switching device is turned off.

In order to improve efficiency of core rubbing operation and also to facilitate reduction in thickness of a coil device, a core-combining member includes substantially U-shaped topside and backside cover members, and a pair of core members are clamped and combined together from top and backsides by fitting the topside and backside cover members to each other. Legs of the topside cover member are provided with leg-openings formed therein while legs of the backside cover member are provided with convex parts for retaining to edges of the leg-openings so as to prevent detachment. A play clearance in the front and rear direction is provided between the convex part and an edge of the leg opening. Core rubbing is performed by relatively moving the cover members in the front and rear direction so as to integrally move the core members while maintaining the core members to be clamped. Stopper means is provided for restricting the relative displacement in the front and rear direction.
