Embodiments according to the present invention can enhance an efficiency
of an apparatus or method capable of converting power of a system. An
apparatus for converting power includes a load state variation detector
that detects a load characteristic state of the load unit; and an
adjusting unit that adjusts a preset value of the circuit device of the
load unit in accordance with the value detected by the load state
variation detector. A method for controlling a power includes checking a
load characteristic with respect to one or more than one element of
system elements; and adjusting one or more than one circuit device value
of a power block of the one or more than one element with respect to the
load characteristic. In embodiments, it is possible to increase an
efficiency of a DC/DC converter by varying a turn ratio of an inductor
among the circuit devices of a converter and adjusting an inductance L.
