Provided is a DC-DC converter comprising: a drive switching element so that a current flows to an inductor, the drive switching element being driven by a PWM control pulse or a PFM control pulse, wherein a direct-current input voltage supplied from a direct-current power source is converted so as to output the converted direct-current voltage having a different potential, and wherein a PWM control is performed when a load is larger than a predetermined value and a PFM control is performed when the load is smaller than the predetermined value, the DC-DC converter further comprising: a pulse width regulation section to regulate the PWM control pulse so as not to have a pulse width smaller than a predetermined pulse width, at least when the PFM control is switched to the PWM control.
