A DC-DC converter for preventing through current from causing erroneous operation of an ideal diode. A first transistor for receiving input voltage is connected to an ideal diode, which includes a second transistor and a comparator for detecting current flowing through the second transistor and generating a detection signal. A control circuit generates a switching signal for turning the first transistor on and off so as to keep the output voltage constant. A pulse generation circuit generates a pulse signal for turning off the second transistor before the first transistor is turned on and keeping the second transistor turned off for a predetermined period from when the first transistor is turned on. An erroneous operation prevention circuit generates a control signal for keeping the second transistor turned off from when the second transistor is turned off to when the first transistor is turned on.
