Abstract

See full text

A DC-DC converter configured to vary an output voltage includes an oscillator circuit configured to output a first clock signal; a digital-to-analog converter controlled based on the first clock signal input thereto and configured to output a voltage according to a voltage setting signal; a delay circuit configured to output a second clock signal delayed by a predetermined delay time with respect to the first clock signal input thereto; an error amplifier circuit having the output voltage of the digital-to-analog converter input thereto as a reference voltage; a pulse width modulation comparator provided with an output of the error amplifier circuit and a voltage into which a current flowing through an inductor is converted; and a control part configured to control a switching transistor of the DC-DC converter based on the second clock signal output by the delay circuit and an output of the pulse width modulation comparator.
