Abstract:
Provided is a multiphase DC-DC converter having a plurality of voltage conversion units, and detect an abnormality in any phase and to remain activated with a phase other than the faulty phase while the faulty phase is reliably protected. A DC-DC converter includes a plurality of voltage conversion units that are in parallel between an input-side conductive path and an output-side conductive path. Each of the voltage conversion units includes on an individual input path, a protective switch element, and a protective switch element disposed on an individual output path. The DC-DC converter further includes a protective abnormality identifying unit configured to identify a range in which a protective switch element is abnormal, and an operation control unit configured to cause, if the range in which a protective switch element is abnormal has been identified, any remaining conversion unit other than the range to perform a voltage conversion operation.

Claim (Index 7):
The DC-DC converter according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the disabling control unit is configured to perform control such that, if the occurrence of an abnormality in the multiphase conversion unit is detected by the detection unit during the operation of the multiphase conversion unit, the protective switch elements that are respectively provided in all of the voltage conversion units are switched to an OFF state.
