Synchronous rectification switching regulator, control circuit for synchronous rectification switching regulator, and operation control method for synchronous rectification switching regulator

摘要

A synchronous-rectification-type switching regulator is disclosed that includes a first switching element; an inductor charged with a voltage input to an input terminal of the switching regulator by the switching of the first switching element; a second switching element for synchronous rectification performing switching so as to discharge the inductor; a control circuit part controlling the switching of the first switching element so that an output voltage from an output terminal of the switching regulator is a predetermined constant voltage, and to cause the second switching element to perform the switching inversely to the first switching element; and a reverse current prevention circuit part interrupting a current that flows into the second switching element by cutting off the connection of the second switching element so as to prevent generation of a reverse current that flows in the direction of the second switching element from the output terminal.
