Abstract
In a DC-DC converter control apparatus, it is configured to have a current sensor for detecting a current flowing through a positive electrode wire connecting the second common terminal with the positive electrode terminal of the high-voltage port and to control operations of the first and second switching elements based on the current detected by the current sensor. With this, it becomes possible to accurately detect the current of the windings and appropriately control the operation of the switching elements based on the detected currents without increasing the transformer in size.
