Abstract
A DC-DC converter including an input, an output, a conversion circuit, and a switch control circuit. The input inputs input voltage. The output outputs output voltage. The conversion circuit a plurality of semiconductor switches, and converts the input voltage to the output voltage by switching operation of one or more semiconductor switches of the plurality of semiconductor switches. The switch control circuit selects one or more semiconductor switches performing the switching operation from the plurality of semiconductor switches based on the input voltage and a predetermined lookup table, and controls the switching operation of the one or more semiconductor switches.
