Abstract:
A converter circuit including a step-up converter including a rectifier, a step-up reactor, a switching element, and a reverse current prevention element; a step-up converter having a step-up reactor, a switching element, and a reverse current prevention element and connected in parallel with the step-up converter; a switching control unit that controls switching elements; and a smoothing capacitor that is provided at the output of the step-up converters. The switching control unit switches the current mode of the current flowing through the step-up reactors into any of a continuous mode, a critical mode, and a discontinuous mode based on a predetermined condition.
