Abstract
A DC-DC converter includes a transformer, a switching circuit provided on the primary side of the transformer, and a rectifier circuit provided on the secondary side of the transformer. The rectifier circuit includes a first rectifier part that is serially connected body of a first transistor and a second transistor having a first electrode connected to a second electrode of the first transistor. The first and second transistors each include a parasitic diode connected forward between the second and first electrode, and the withstanding voltage between the first and second electrodes of the first transistor is higher than the withstanding voltage between the first and second electrodes of the second transistor.
