A double
resonance transformer uses a primary winding, a first secondary winding, and a second secondary winding to perform
voltage conversion using an
electromagnetic induction phenomenon based on a winding ratio of the primary winding, the first secondary winding, and the second secondary winding in a rectification operation period that is a conduction period of a first rectification element or a second rectification element. The double
resonance transformer uses a primary-side
resonance circuit and a first secondary-side resonance circuit or a second secondary-side resonance circuit to perform power transfer using an
electromagnetic field resonance phenomenon based on the formation of
electromagnetic field coupling between the primary-side resonance circuit and the first secondary-side resonance circuit or the second secondary-side resonance circuit in a rectification
stop period in which both the first rectification element and the second rectification element are non-conductive. Due to the
electromagnetic field resonance phenomenon, the double resonance
transformer 30 holds, as resonance energy, electromagnetic
field energy not involved in the power transfer in the primary-side resonance circuit and the first secondary-side resonance circuit or the second secondary-side resonance circuit. The first secondary-side resonance circuit and the second secondary-side resonance circuit start resonance operations at the start of the rectification
stop period, end the resonance operation at the end of the rectification
stop period, alternately switch the resonance operations of the first secondary-side resonance circuit and the second secondary-side resonance circuit over time, and supply the resonance energy to a load connected to a secondary-side
smoothing circuit.
