A subtracting unit calculates a voltage deviation of an output voltage of a DC-to-DC converter from a target voltage. A feedback control variable calculator calculates a feedback control variable in each control cycle. In a control cycle in which a crossing of the output voltage and the target voltage is detected by a feedforward control determination unit, a feedforward control variable calculator calculates a feedforward control variable so that a change in the output voltage is prevented. A switching control signal generator generates a control signal for the DC-to-DC converter for controlling the output voltage, according to a summation of the feedforward control variable and the feedback control variable.
