The invention discloses a
switching power source and a starting circuit of the
switching power source, wherein, the starting circuit is used for the power supply of a PWM control
chip that is used for controlling the switching of the power FET; under the starting mode, the power for the PWM controlling
chip is supplied by a starting circuit
capacitor with smaller
capacity value, thereby guaranteeing that the
system has short starting time; after the starting is successful, under the normal working mode, a larger
capacitor is connected with the starting circuit
capacitor in parallelism through a switch to supply power for the PWM controlling
chip, thereby reducing the ripples of the power-supply
voltage of the
switching power source in normal work and improving the stability of the
system. Using the switching power source of the starting circuit prevents a high-
voltage element from being introduced into the PWM controlling chip, thereby reducing the production process requirement of the chip, reducing the production cost of the PWM chip and reducing the starting time of the
system as far as possible while reducing the
power consumption.
