Abstract

Abstract A switching regulator comprising a first diode inserted in series with and in a forward direction to a primary winding of the main power transformer, at least one subsidiary power transformer having a primary winding connected in parallel with the primary winding of the main power transformer, and a second diode inserted in series with and in a forward direction to a primary winding of the at least one subsidiary power transformer, which uses one switching control circuit and one switching means and applies chopped voltages to many transformers simultaneously, and generates many mutually insulated DC power sources, which can be small in size and have simple printed circuits.
