A switching type converter including an input stage and an output stage, the input stage including an input inductor to which an input DC voltage to be regulated is applied, switching component for directing the current passing through the input inductor either to the ground or to the output stage, and a capacitor mounted in parallel between the output from the switching component and the ground, the output stage including an output inductor mounted in series, an output capacitor mounted in parallel, the terminals of which carry the output voltage from the regulator, and an additional inductor connecting the output of the switching component to the output stage and magnetically coupled to the input inductor.
