  • Publication number: 20240380330
    Abstract: A control circuit performs at least one of a first phase shift control and a second phase shift control. The first phase shift control outputs a primary-side control signal so that a positive voltage is applied to a primary-side winding, and then outputs a secondary-side control signal so that a positive voltage is applied to a secondary-side winding when the voltage of the capacitor is higher than a battery voltage primary-side conversion value during activation of a bidirectional DC/DC. The second phase shift control outputs the secondary-side control signal so that a positive voltage is applied to the secondary-side winding, and then outputs the primary-side control signal so that a positive voltage is applied to the primary-side winding.
