In a RCC type switching power supply circuit, a sensing coil connected magnetically closely with an output coil is equipped in a fly-back transformer. The sensing coil is connected with a timing condenser through a Zener diode and an alternate current voltage output from the sensing coil is rectified and smoothed. Then, the difference between a detection voltage detected as a direct current voltage of the secondary side and the basic voltage of the Zener diode is supplied to the timing condenser to change the discharge/charge time and then change the timing of the switching of a first switching element in order to control the switching time of the first switching element. At the same time, applying the voltage which results from rectifying and smoothing the output voltage from the sensing coil, the charge and discharge of the timing condenser at the non-loading time is controlled in order to prolong the cycle of the switching oscillation and consequently, reduce the power loss.
