Abstract
To provide a voltage converter configured to suppress individual variation in voltage conversion ratio and configured to achieve a high voltage conversion ratio. A voltage converter comprising a reactor, a switching element, a diode, a current sensor, and a controller, wherein the controller detects a current value of the reactor several times in a switching period; wherein the controller calculates an estimated execution ON time length from a transition of a current value of the reactor detected in the switching period; wherein the controller calculates a difference between the estimated execution ON time length and a command ON time length instructed by the controller; and wherein, by using the difference, the controller corrects the command ON time length of the time when performing any of subsequent ON commands in a range not exceeding a predetermined command ON time upper limit value.
