There is provided a high-efficiency DC-DC converter which comprises a
voltage resonance circuit to which electric power from a low-voltage
direct-current power supply, including a household fuel cell and a solar
cell, is input and performs DC-AC conversion by zero-voltage switching,
an insulating high-frequency transformer which transmits the converted
power, a current resonance circuit which is provided on the secondary
side of the transformer and performs zero-current switching, a rectifier
circuit which rectifies the output from the current resonance circuit,
and a smoothing circuit which rectifies the output from the rectifier
circuit.
