DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a constant voltage power supply for outputting a predetermined DC voltage from an input AC voltage.
In particular, it can be used in countries where different AC voltages are used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in Japan, for example, a transformer-type constant voltage power supply has been used in order to reduce an AC voltage of 100 V to a DC voltage of 16 V.

[0003] The AC voltage used in Japan is 100 V, but differs depending on the country. For example, 110V-120V in the United States, 220V-
An AC voltage of 240 V is used.

In the conventional transformer type constant voltage power supply,
There were the following problems.

[0005] (1) In the case of using an electric device which operates on a power supply of, for example, a DC voltage of 16 V in Europe in Europe, it is necessary to switch taps in order to adjust to the European voltage. When the taps are not completely matched even when the taps are switched, an excess voltage corresponding to the mismatch is added to a control circuit portion such as a dropper type regulator that constitutes a constant voltage power supply, causing a problem such as heat generation. There is a failure.

(2) For example, when the AC voltage of 230 V is changed to 16 V
In order to reduce the DC voltage to a constant voltage, it is necessary to increase the ratio between the primary winding and the secondary winding of the transformer. Therefore, the number of windings of the primary winding must be increased. In addition, the size cannot be reduced, and the manufacturing cost increases.

(3) When the input voltage fluctuates, the fluctuating voltage is directly applied to the transformer, and as a result, the output DC voltage also fluctuates.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can be used even when different AC voltages are used, can be miniaturized, suppresses the manufacturing cost, and furthermore, can change the input voltage.
