Abstract

See full text

A DC-DC converter includes a regeneration snubber circuit. The snubber circuit is connected in parallel with the secondary diode circuit and includes a series circuit of a discharge blocking diode, a snubber capacitor, and a switching element for regeneration connected in parallel with the discharge blocking diode. The DC-DC converter further includes a control unit which turns the switching element for regeneration on a predetermined time period after the timing of turning the primary side switching element off. The predetermined time period is set to approximately the time period during which the charge, accumulated in the snubber capacitor due to reverse recovery time when one of the secondary diodes has been turned off, discharges.
