Abstract

See full text

A DC-DC converter includes n number of first series circuits each including an inductor and a switching element and a second series circuit in which n number of rectifier elements are connected in series with a same rectification direction. When n=2, one end of the second series circuit is connected to a node between an inductor and a switching element in the first series circuit and the other end of the second series circuit is connected to one end of a smoothing capacitor and one end of a load. A node between an inductor and a switching element is connected to a node between the rectifier elements via a capacitor. The odd-numbered switching element and the even-numbered switching element in the order of connection to the second series circuit are complementarily driven.
