摘要

A controller CT1 switches on a first switch SW1, and the direct-current voltage given from a power source BAT flowing through a first inductor L1 is smoothed by a capacitor C1 and is output from an output terminal OUT1. After a specified period of time has elapsed since the first switch SW1 was turned off by the controller CT1, the second switch SW2 and the third switch SW3 are turned on approximately at the same time. The electric current which was flowing through the first inductor L1 is branched into the second switch SW2 and the third switch SW3, and the electric current flowing through the parasitic diode Dp1 of the second switch SW2 is reduced. As a result, when the second switch SW2 is turned off, the recovery current flowing through the parasitic diode Dp1 is reduced.
