Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) device, image forming apparatus including the SMPS device, and method of driving the SMPS device

摘要

A switching mode power supply (SMPS) device includes a power converting part (220) that converts an input voltage into an output voltage according to a switching signal, and outputs a primitive switching signal for use in varying a frequency of the switching signal based on power drawn by a load receiving the output voltage; a resonant circuit (240) that changes a duty ratio of the primitive switching signal using a variable resonant frequency in accordance with a variance of an impedance of the load; and a signal controlling part (260) that compares a voltage of the primitive switching signal, resonated in accordance with the variable resonant frequency, with a reference voltage, and varies the frequency of the switching signal and outputs the switching signal having the varied frequency when the voltage of the primitive switching signal is maintained below the reference voltage for longer than a reference time.
