An object of the present invention is to reduce a cost and a power consumption, eliminating a voltage source for generating a reference voltage in an isolated switching power source achieving a feedback from an output side of the power source to a control circuit in an input side of the power source through a photo-coupler. A voltage V.sub.1 obtained by dividing an output voltage V.sub.0 by a voltage dividing resistors 8, 9 is applied to a base of a transistor 11-1 for an error amplifier, and a photo-coupler light emitting element 10-1 is connected between an emitter of the transistor 11-1 and a negative side of an power source output. A forward dropping voltage of the photo-coupler light emitting element becomes approximately constant (approximately 1.1 v) over a variation range of a current flowing to the photo-coupler light emitting element at actually using time. Utilizing such a characteristic, it is possible to cause the photo-coupler 10-1 to have a function generating the reference voltage to be compared with the output voltage V.sub.0 as well as a function achieving a feedback to the control circuit 5 in the input side of the power source.
In an isolated switching power source for controlling a voltage, comparing a voltage signal corresponding to an output voltage with a reference voltage to cause to generate a control signal according to a difference between the reference voltage and the voltage signal, by feeding back the control signal to a control circuit in an input side through a photo-coupler, the power source being characterized in that the reference voltage is a forward dropping voltage of a light emitting element of the photo-coupler, the photo-coupler light emitting element being used as the sole source of the reference voltage, in means for feeding back the control signal.
