Abstract
A feedback control unit includes a controller which calculates a duty ratio for switching elements on the basis of a command value and a detection value of electrical information. A continuous/discontinuous current mode distinguishment unit includes a duty ratio increase/decrease distinguishment unit which performs distinguishment between increase and decrease in the duty ratio, and an output voltage detection value increase/decrease distinguishment unit which performs distinguishment between increase and decrease in a detection value of a voltage of second terminals. If the duty ratio has decreased and the detection value of the voltage has increased, or if the duty ratio has increased and the detection value of the voltage has decreased, the continuous/discontinuous current mode distinguishment unit determines that an operation mode is a discontinuous current mode, and feeds back a result of the determination to the feedback control unit.
