A DC-DC converter includes a switching circuit having first and second
switching elements to which a direct current voltage is supplied, the
first and second switching elements periodically operated so that one of
the switching elements is turned on while the other one is turned OFF
during a period other than a dead time period, a serial circuit in which
a first capacitor, and primary windings of first and second inductance
elements are connected in series, and a connection is made between an
output point of the switching circuit and a reference potential point (or
input voltage point), and output circuits including rectifier elements,
each of which rectifies a voltage induced by secondary windings of the
first and second inductance elements, the output circuits obtaining a
direct current output voltage.
