A differential output DC-DC converter capable of decreasing power
consumption is presented. The differential output DC-DC converter 1
comprises output terminals VP and VM connected to both ends of load, and
a switching regulator 10 for passing a source current. It further
comprises a third transistor FET3, a choke coil L2, and a fourth
transistor FET4 for rectifying a sink current in a flowing direction, and
further a second regulator for allowing the sink current to flow, and
issuing a voltage higher than a grounding point GND voltage and lower
than a voltage of an output terminal VP, to an output terminal VM.
