There is provided a DC-DC converter including: a main switching element to
perform an on-off operation; a first choke coil; an output capacitor; and
a diode module. The diode module includes a first series circuit which
includes an auxiliary switching element and a resonant capacitor, and a
second series circuit which includes a flywheel diode and a resonant
coil, wherein the first series circuit and the second series circuit are
connected in parallel to each other. The DC-DC converter reduces the
switching loss, deals with an extensive range of input and output voltage
variation, and accommodates easy modifications from conventional
circuits.
