Abstract
An electronic control unit for producing a sufficiently boosted voltage even when a supply voltage becomes high includes an inverter that drives switching elements and converts a DC voltage into an AC voltage, and booster means which boosts a DC voltage that is input into a voltage to lie within a voltage range in which a voltage necessary for driving the switching elements is a lower-limit value and a maximum boosted voltage is an upper-limit value, and outputs the boosted voltage to the inverter.
