Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes a first switching element and a second switching element; a pulse signal generating circuit which generates a pulse signal used to control on/off periods of the switching elements; a limiting circuit which generates a minimum pulse width signal; a selector configured to select one of the pulse signal and the minimum pulse width signal, and a driver circuit switches the first and second switching element and a reverse current detecting circuit detects a reverse current. The driver circuit controls the first or second switching element, when the reverse current is detected. The selector selects the pulse signal when the reverse current is not detected, and selects the minimum pulse width signal when the reverse current is detected.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter according to the present invention includes a power supply control circuit—that generates pulse signals, an output transistor that is controlled to be turned on and off based on the pulse signal, a rectification transistor—that is controlled to be turned on and off based on a control signal, a coil provided between a node between the output transistor and the rectification transistor, and an external output terminal, a comparator that compares a voltage of the node—with a reference voltage, a first control circuit that generates a control signal based on a comparison result of the comparator, and a second control circuit that generates the control signal based on a backward-current detection timing and a reference timing.
