Abstract
A DC-DC converter includes a filter circuit, a full-bridge circuit connected to the filter circuit, and a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, the primary winding being connected to the full-bridge circuit. The full-bridge circuit includes first to fourth semiconductor switches. First to fourth overvoltage protection circuits are associated with the first to fourth semiconductor switches, respectively. Each of the overvoltage protection circuits is connected in parallel its associated semiconductor switch.
