The present disclosure is for minimizing the parasitic resistance of an output capacitor of a low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC) proposed to improve a lifespan of a battery and increase efficiency of the DC-DC converter through reduction of an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of an output capacitor in an N-phase interleaving type vehicle DC-DC converter. According to the present disclosure, the LDC includes: an N-phase power circuit configured by connection of N DC-DC converters in parallel between a high-voltage (HV) battery and a low-voltage (LV) battery; and one output capacitor commonly connected to an output of each phase DC-DC converter, wherein each phase of the N-phase power circuit is controlled in an interleaving manner which delays a phase by 360°/N. Here, each N-phase power circuit is controlled by switching at a frequency of [(a frequency at which the parasitic resistance (equivalent series resistance (ESR)) of the output capacitor is minimized)/N].
