  • Publication number: 20240106322
    Abstract: In a power conversion system, a control circuit has, as its operation modes: a first control mode in which control circuit controls a DC-DC converter at a first drive frequency; a second control mode in which control circuit controls DC-DC converter at a second drive frequency higher than first drive frequency; and a third control mode in which control circuit controls DC-DC converter at a third drive frequency higher than first drive frequency. Control circuit is configured to change operation mode from first control mode into second control mode when detector circuit detects a predetermined change in output voltage while control circuit is operating in first control mode. Control circuit controls DC-DC converter in third control mode in a process of changing, in response to detection of predetermined change, operation mode from first control mode into second control mode before starting to control DC-DC converter in second control mode.
