The present invention relates to a quasi-resonant converter. In the quasi-resonant converter according to the present invention, a predetermined first period and a second period following to the first period are set. In the second period, a switch is turned on at a time point where voltages at both ends of the switch fall to the minimum if the second period includes the time point, and the switch is turned on at the end of the second period if the second period does not include the time point. Therefore, the switching frequency of the switch can be restricted within a predetermined range.
