Chopper type DC-DC converter
 The DC-DC converter is disclosed, which has an output terminal connected to an external load, and produces a desired output voltage at the output terminal. An output capacitor in the converter has a first electrode connected to the output terminal and a second electrode. The charge/discharge regulator controls electrical connection between a DC power supply and the output capacitor to permit the capacitor to be charged or discharged. The DC-DC converter includes a first detecting circuit for detecting a change in the output voltage at the output terminal, and a second detecting circuit for detecting a variable load current flowing into the converter from the load via the output terminal. A voltage control circuit is provided in the converter, and controls a potential of the second electrode of the capacitor in such a manner as to nullify a variation in the output voltage, based on a result of detection of the output voltage by the first detecting circuit and on a result of detection of the load current by the second detecting circuit.
