Abstract:
Provided is DC-DC converter including a first inductor configured to output a first inductor current based on an input voltage, a second inductor configured to output a second inductor current based on the input voltage, an output network unit configured to provide a first output voltage to a first output terminal and provide a second output voltage to a second output terminal based on the first inductor current or the second inductor current, a controller configured to determine cross-regulation with respect to the first output terminal and the second output terminal and generate a mode signal based on the determination, and an inductor network unit configured to connect the first inductor and the second inductor based on the mode signal or electrically isolate the first inductor and the second inductor.

Claim (Index 11):
A DC-DC converter driving method comprising:\n connecting, by an inductor network unit, a first inductor and a second inductor in series based on a serial mode signal; providing, by an output network unit, a first output voltage to a first output terminal and a second output voltage to a second output terminal, based on an inductor current flowing through the first inductor and the second inductor; generating, by a controller, an isolation mode signal when the inductor current after a reference time from the charging time point of the first inductor and the second inductor is greater than a threshold current; electrically isolating, by the inductor network unit, the first inductor and the second inductor based on the isolation mode signal; and providing, by the output network unit, a third output voltage to the first output terminal based on a first inductor current flowing in the first inductor and a fourth output voltage to the second output terminal based on a second inductor current flowing in the second inductor.
