A DC-DC converter includes a main inductor connected to an input voltage,
a main switching element connected in series to the main inductor, a main
diode connected to the main inductor and a load, and a main capacitor
connected to the main diode and the load, the DC-DC converter changing
the input voltage to output a changed input voltage as an output voltage.
The DC-DC converter further includes an oscillator connected between the
main inductor and the main diode, an auxiliary switching element
connected to the oscillator, the auxiliary switching element changing an
operation state based on an externally applied control signal to control
the oscillator, and a diode unit connected to the oscillator and the
auxiliary switching element and controlling current flow based on
operations of the oscillator and the auxiliary switching element to
change the output voltage. The main switching element and the main diode
are to be zero voltage switching or zero current switching in accordance
with the operations of the oscillator and the auxiliary switching
element.
