Abstract:
A control apparatus performs peak current mode control in which a drive switch is turned off when output of a comparator is inverted during an on-operation period determined by a basic signal. The comparator inverts the output when a reactor current increases to a command current. The control apparatus determines that a switching frequency of the drive switch is required to be switched when the output of the comparator is detected to have not become inverted during the single switching period while the peak current mode control is being performed. The control apparatus sets the switching frequency to a first frequency when the switching determining unit determines that the switching frequency is not required to be switched, and switches the switching frequency from the first frequency to a second frequency lower than the first frequency when the switching determining unit determines that the switching frequency is required to be switched.

Claim (Index 2):
The control apparatus for a power conversion apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising:\n a voltage detecting unit that detects an input voltage of the power conversion apparatus; and a factor determining unit that determines, when the switching determining unit determines that the switching frequency is required to be switched, whether or not a factor in the reactor current not reaching the command current is based on a temporary decrease in the reactor current, based on at least one of the reactor current, the input voltage, and a command value of an output voltage, wherein when the factor determining unit determines that the factor is based on the temporary decrease in the reactor current, the frequency switching unit maintains the switching frequency at the first frequency regardless of the determination result of the switching determining unit.
