The DC-DC converter connects a first and a second switching circuit for
converting power mutually between direct current and alternating current
respectively to a first DC power source and a second DC power source and
has a transformer between the AC terminals thereof. Here, between the AC
terminals of the second switching circuit and the negative pole terminal
of the DC power source, a voltage clamp circuit composed of a series unit
of switching devices with a reverse parallel diode and a clamp condenser
is connected.An isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter which prevents a
reduction in a circulating current at time of buck and an occurrence of a
surge voltage at time of voltage boost and realizes highly efficiency,
low noise, and miniaturization is provided.
