Abstract: The invention relates to enhanced adjusting of the control variables for a DC-DC converter comprising multiple DC-DC converter modules (30-1, 30-2). For this purpose, alongside the conventional controlling of the individual DC-DC converter modules, an additional correction variable (K-1, K-2) is determined which can be added to the control variable (R4-1, R4-2). In particular, the correction variable can take into account individual properties of the DC-DC converter modules, such as component tolerances or similar. For this purpose, correction values suitable for the individual DC-DC converter modules can be determined in advance and stored in a non-volatile storage means. Using these previously stored links, the control variables for the individual DC-DC converter modules can be individually adjusted.
