Abstract

According to one embodiment, a power supply device includes a rectifier circuit, a smoothing capacitor, and a normally on type transistor. The rectifier circuit is configured to rectify an alternating current supplied from a voltage source. The smoothing capacitor is charged by an output current output from the rectifier circuit. The normally on type transistor is connected between the rectifier circuit and the smoothing capacitor in series and is configured to limit an output current value of the rectifier circuit during a voltage input from the voltage source to an output current value higher than an output current value of the rectifier circuit during a steady operation.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a power supply device and a lighting device. Background technique [0002] A power supply device for lighting a light source such as a light emitting diode (LED) as a lighting device includes a rectifier circuit, a smoothing circuit, a direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter, and the like. The rectification circuit and smoothing circuit convert commercial AC power to DC. The DC-DC converter converts the DC to the required voltage and supplies it to the LED. Typically, diode bridge rectifiers are used for rectification and capacitors are used for smoothing. [0003] When the commercial AC power supply is turned on to the power supply unit, the smoothing capacitor is charged through the power switch and the rectifier. At this time, there are only low-impedance elements on the path through which the charging current flows, so an excessive charging current, that is, an inrush current, flows. This c...
