    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a DC-DC converter, a vehicle, and a control method including the same, and more particularly, to a DC-DC converter, a vehicle, and a control method including the same capable of effectively detecting and responding to an interlock failure of a connector. The present disclosure provides a DC-DC converter including: a plurality of terminals having more than two terminals disposed in the inlet corresponding to one DC link; an interlock recognition circuit electrically connected to the plurality of terminals; and a converter controller determining a connector interlock state of the inlet based on an output terminal state of the interlock recognition circuit, wherein the interlock recognition circuit is configured to determine the output terminal state in response to whether a connector having an interlock connection part for short circuiting different two of the plurality of terminals when the inlet is interlocked and the output terminal state corresponding to the type of the interlock connection part.

    摘要: A DC-DC converter, a vehicle including the converter, and a controlling method thereof are provided. The DC-DC converter includes a first capacitor connected to a first DC terminal, a second capacitor connected to a second DC terminal, a plurality of converting circuits each including at least an inductor and a plurality of switching elements, and connected to each other in parallel between the first capacitor and the second capacitor, and a controller configured to control an ON/OFF state of the plurality of switching elements provided of each of the converting circuits. When external power connection with respect to each of the first DC terminal and the second DC terminal is disconnected, the controller is configured to control states of the plurality of switching elements to sequentially provide a plurality of different discharge paths between opposite terminals of the second capacitor via the plurality of converting circuits.
