A DC-DC converter comprising a soft-magnetic, multi-layer substrate
provided with a laminated coil constituted by connecting pluralities of
conductor lines, and a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising
a switching device and a control circuit, which are mounted on the
soft-magnetic, multi-layer substrate; the semiconductor integrated
circuit device comprising an input terminal, an output terminal, a first
control terminal for controlling the ON/OFF of the switching device, a
second control terminal for variably controlling output voltage, and
pluralities of ground terminals; the soft-magnetic, multi-layer substrate
comprising first external terminals formed on a first main surface, first
connecting wires formed on the first main surface and/or on nearby
layers, second connecting wires formed between the side surface of the
multi-layer substrate and a periphery of the laminated coil, and second
external terminals formed on a second main surface; and terminals of the
semiconductor integrated circuit device being connected to the first
external terminals on the multi-layer substrate, at least part of the
first external terminals being electrically connected to the second
external terminals through the first and second connecting wires, and the
input or output terminal being connected to the second external terminals
via the laminated coil.
