A DC-to-DC converter includes a triangular wave generator, a variable gain amplifier configured to amplify an error between a reference voltage and a feedback voltage which is a feedback of an output voltage so that a gain relatively decreases as an input voltage increases, and relatively increases as the input voltage decreases, and a comparator configured to compare an output of the triangular wave generator with an output of the variable gain amplifier. The variable gain amplifier includes a differential pair configured to convert the feedback voltage and the reference voltage into currents, a Gilbert cell circuit configured to differentially receive the currents output from the differential pair, an output conversion circuit configured to convert differential outputs from the Gilbert cell circuit into a single output, and a tail current source configured to supply, to the differential pair, tail currents having a magnitude corresponding to the input voltage.
