Abstract
In a multi-output type DC/DC converter, a controller controls, in accordance with first and second output voltages, turning on/off of a switch circuit and selection in an output selection circuit. The controller controls an ON time interval in each time slot of the switch circuit so as to always constant in a steady state without reference to weight of first and second loads.

A multi-output type DC/DC converter for generating, from an input voltage, a plurality of output voltages using a switch circuit to supply the plurality of output voltages to a plurality of loads corresponding thereto, wherein said switch circuit has an ON time interval in each time slot that is constant in a steady state without reference to weight of said plurality of loads.
A method of controlling a multi-output type DC/DC converter for generating, from an input voltage, a plurality of output voltages using a switch circuit to supply the plurality of output voltages to a plurality of loads corresponding thereto, said method comprising the step of controlling an ON time interval in each time slot of said switch circuit so as to become constant in a steady state without reference to weight of said plurality of loads.
A multi-output type DC/DC converter for generating, from an input voltage, first through N-th output voltages to supply said first through N-th output voltages to first through N-th loads, respectively, where N represents an integer which is not less than two, said multi-output type DC/DC converter comprising:
- a switch circuit for switching said input voltage to produce an AC voltage;
- first through N-th rectifying and smoothing circuits for producing said first through N-th output voltages;
- an output selection circuit for selecting, as a selected rectifying and smoothing circuit, one of said first through N-th rectifying and smoothing circuits each time slot to supply said AC voltage to said selected rectifying and smoothing circuit;
- and
- a controller for controlling turning on/off of said switching circuit and selection in said output selection circuit in accordance with said first through N-th output voltages, said controller controlling an ON time interval in each time slot of said switch circuit so as to always become constant in a steady state without reference to weight of said first through N-th loads.
