Abstract: [Object] To realize a DC-DC converter that can reduce switching loss when zero voltage switching is not achieved. [Solution] When starting second control in conjunction with first control, a control unit (10) performs reduction of predetermined phase difference and increase of phase offset at the same time. A smallest value of output power of the DC-DC converter (CON1) performing reduction of the predetermined phase difference is lower than power at which a primary-side reactor (6) is saturated by current flowing through the primary-side reactor (6) under the first control and lower than power at which a secondary-side reactor (7) is saturated by current flowing through the secondary-side reactor (7) under the first control, at a desired output voltage under the first control.
