The electric current which was flowing through the first inductor L1 is branched into the second switch SW2 and the third switch SW3, and the electric current flowing through the parasitic diode Dp1 of the second switch SW2 is reduced. As a result, when the second switch SW2 is turned off, the recovery current flowing through the parasitic diode Dp1 is reduced.
