A switching power supply circuit comprises: current detection means for detecting a current flowing through an inductor; current holding means for holding the current flowing through the inductor over a past predetermined period; and current superposition means for adding to an output of an error amplifier a current superposition signal which makes an adjustment, based on a present current information signal as an output signal of the current detection means, such that the ON-period of a switching signal of a PWM comparator is shortened, and also makes an adjustment, based on a past current information signal as an output signal of the current holding means, such that the ON-period of the switching signal of the PWM comparator is lengthened.
