A DC/DC converter includes a reactor, IGBT devices, a dead time generation
unit, and a DC-CPU. The dead time generation unit operates in response to
a reference signal for a duty ratio, to output first and second
activation signals provided with an inactive period corresponding to a
dead time preventing both of the IGBT devices from conducting. The DC-CPU
corrects a tentative duty ratio calculated as based on a voltage control
value, in accordance with a value of a current flowing through the
reactor, to output the reference signal. Preferably the DC-CPU associates
the value of the current of the reactor with three states and when the
value approaches a value at which a state transitions to a different
state, the DC-CPU gradually switches a correction value.
