A DC-DC converter that does not need a series resistance element on the output side, and can make use of the parasitic resistance of a coil to improve output characteristics and prevent a decrease in efficiency. In switching unit 40, transistors M1 and M2 are turned ON/OFF alternately in correspondence with pulse signal Sp; input voltage Vin is fed intermittently to node ND1; in output filter unit 10, output voltage Vout that is smoothed with coil Le and capacitor Cout is output to terminal Tout. In feedback control unit 100, divided voltage Vo1 obtained by dividing the voltage at node ND1 is compared with reference voltage Vref, and the result of the comparison is integrated to generate control voltage Vc. In PWM modulation unit 30, pulse signal Sp with pulse width controlled is generated according to control voltage Vc and sent to switching unit 40. Consequently, the parasitic resistance of coil Le of output filter unit 10 is used to perform static load regulation, and it is possible to improve the stability of the output voltage and the conversion efficiency.
