PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely perform overcurrent protection operation at high speed, even if a CPU with low-cost components having low processing speed is used. SOLUTION: The switching power supply, comprising a switch circuit (DC/DC converter) 16 that performs switching operation in response to a control pulse; a digital control section 26, including a CPU 261 and performing output control of the control pulse to the switch circuit; a detection circuit 20 for detecting the overcurrent state of the switching power supply; a latching circuit 22 for holding an overcurrent detection signal from the detection circuit 20, and a gate circuit 24, inserted into the control pulse input line of the DC/DC converter and stopping input of the control pulse to the switching element Q2 in the DC/DC converter 16, when the latch circuit 22 is holding the overcurrent detection signal, wherein the digital control section 26 receives the overcurrent detection signal from the overcurrent detection circuit 20.
