    Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes: a DC-AC conversion circuit that converts a DC input voltage into a primary AC voltage; a transformer including a primary coil to which the primary AC voltage is applied and generates a secondary AC voltage at a secondary coil; a rectifier circuit that outputs a rectified voltage obtained by full-wave rectifying the secondary AC voltage; a smoothing circuit that smooths the rectified voltage; and a control circuit that causes the rectifier circuit to perform rectification by a diode such that, in a free-wheeling period in which power of the input voltage is not transmitted to the transformer, a current does not flow via the rectifier circuit from a first intermediate terminal to a second intermediate terminal, the first and second intermediate terminals connected to the smoothing circuit, and a current flows via the rectifier circuit from the second intermediate terminal to the first intermediate terminal.

    Abstract: A power converter according to the present disclosure includes a cooling plate and a plurality of circuit elements. The cooling plate includes a first cooling surface and a second cooling surface on an opposite side from the first cooling surface. The cooling plate is provided with a through hole passing through between the first and second cooling surfaces. The circuit elements convert AC power supplied from an external power source into DC power of a certain voltage and output the DC power. The circuit elements at least include first and second circuit elements. The first circuit element includes a first terminal and is thermally connected to the first cooling surface. The second circuit element includes a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal and inserted into the through hole, and is thermally connected to the second cooling surface.

    Abstract: In a switching power supply device, a control circuit controls a first thyristor, a second thyristor, and a switching element according to an input voltage. The control circuit maintains the first thyristor in an on state while maintaining the second thyristor and the switching element in an off state in a first period in which the absolute amplitude value is equal to or less than a first threshold value within the latter half of a first half-cycle of the input voltage at startup, and maintains the second thyristor in an on state while maintaining the first thyristor and the switching element in an off state in a second period in which the absolute amplitude value is equal to or less than a second threshold value within the latter half of a second half-cycle of the input voltage at startup. The second half-cycle is the half-cycle following the first half-cycle.
