1. A constant voltage circuit for a power adapter comprising:
a transformer having a primary coil and a secondary coil, the transformer transforming a primary voltage based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) control into a secondary voltage according to a turn ratio of the primary and secondary coils;
a voltage detector for detecting an output voltage from the transformer;
a current detector for detecting output current which is supplied from the transformer to a load;
a current/voltage converter for converting the output current detected by the current detector into a current detection voltage and outputting the converted current detection voltage to a detected voltage terminal of the voltage detector; and
a comparator for comparing a voltage of the output voltage detected by the voltage detector plus the current detection voltage from the current/voltage converter with a predetermined reference voltage to output a difference voltage therebetween necessary for the PWM control of the transformer.
