A DC-DC converter that suppresses increase in area and obtains high
conversion efficiency irrespective of the output current. A controller
controls a first output transistor and a second output transistor in a
PWM operation mode or a linear operation mode based on output voltage of
the DC-DC converter. The controller operates the DC-DC converter as a
switching regulator that activates and inactivates the first output
transistor and the second output transistor in a complementary manner
during the PWM operation mode. The controller operates the DC-DC
converter as a linear regulator that inactivates the second output
transistor and controls the ON-resistance value of the first output
transistor to perform linear operation with the first output transistor
during the linear operation mode.
