[0314] In summary, the present invention provides a switching power supply that integrates the primary-side control circuit 3 and the secondary-side control circuit 4 of the switching power supply on the same chip, and provides a processor 2 on the single chip. The processor 2 controls the primary-side control circuit 3 and the secondary-side control circuit 4. At the same time, communication between the processor 2 and the primary-side control circuit 3 is provided via the millimeter-wave transmission circuit 1. The isolation of the millimeter-wave transmission circuit 1 ensures the safety distance requirement between the primary-side control circuit 3 and the secondary-side control circuit 4. This also realizes a single-chip design in which the primary-side control circuit 3 and the secondary-side control circuit 4 are sealed together, and the primary-side control circuit 3, the secondary-side control circuit 4, and the millimeter-wave transmission circuit 1 all realize a chip design. The single-chip design and chip design not only ensure the simplification and small size of the switching power supply design, but also reduce EMI interference. In addition, since the control signals of the primary-side control circuit 3 and the secondary-side control circuit 4 are both generated by the processor 2, the control of the primary-side control circuit 3 does not require feedback from the secondary-side control circuit 4, but is directly generated by the processor 2. At the same time, the control signal is transmitted by the processor 2 via the millimeter wave transmission circuit 1, which greatly improves the transmission speed of the control signal, with low delay and high efficiency. The minimalist peripheral devices further reduce the difficulty of design and debugging, reduce the board area, save costs, and achieve ultra-high overall power density. Compared with existing switching power supply solutions, the volume can be reduced by 30% to 40%.
