Abstract
An electronic control unit provided in a boost converter apparatus switches a switching element of each of plural boost converters in accordance with each target timing. The electronic control unit stores a table in which a plurality of superimposition prohibition regions are defined. The electronic control unit sets the target timing for each of the plural boost converters in a manner not to be superimposed on any of the plurality of superimposition prohibition regions defined in the table, and updates the table by using a superimposition prohibition region based on the set target timing.
Claims5
