A small and light weight DC/DC converter is provided comprising a coil in
which a first coil and a second coil are wound in opposite directions
(reversed phases) on the same core is used, and at the same time as when
an excitation current is flowed in the first coil with a switch ON and a
switch OFF, an electric current is generated in the second coil in a
direction to offset the magnetization of the core, and the electric
current from the second coil is transferred to an output side capacitor.
Similarly, at the same time as an excitation current is flowed in the
second coil with the switch ON and the switch OFF, an electric current is
generated in the first coil in a direction to offset the magnetization of
the core, and the electric current from the first coil is transferred to
the output side capacitor.
