Abstract

A control device includes a processor that executes a process including generating a driving signal that drives a switching device, so that an output voltage of a converter circuit that performs a step-down conversion on input power by driving the switching device matches a target value, and modifying the target value so that as an output current of the converter circuit becomes lower the output voltage becomes closer to an upper limit value of the output voltage.
