Abstract
An N-channel MOS transistor is used to configure a DC—DC converter having good characteristics without providing a particular voltage circuit which outputs a voltage higher than an input voltage. An N-channel MOS transistorand a choke coilare connected in series between a negative side of a direct-current power supply and a negative side of the output capacitor. A PWM circuitapplies pulse signals to a gate of the MOS transistorbased on the input voltage divided by the capacitorsand. The pulse signal of the PWM circuitis formed by the voltage corresponding to the output voltage of the output capacitor, and the pulse signal is inputted to the gate of the N-channel MOS transistorthrough a photocoupler
