Abstract

A flying DC-to-DC converter has a capacitor protection function of preventing a flying capacitor from overheating. The flying DC-to-DC converter estimates the temperature of a capacitor on the basis of a switching duty and an inductor current determined according to a result of comparison between an output voltage and a voltage instruction value, and determines whether to perform de-rating.
