Abstract

An exemplary power conversion circuit is to convert a voltage from one voltage level to another. The circuit includes an input port, an output port, a main body circuit, a first solder bridge, and a second solder bridge. The input port of the power conversion circuit is an output port of one power conversion circuit previous in sequence to the power conversion circuit, the output port of the power conversion circuit is an input port of one power conversion circuit next in sequence to the power conversion circuit. The first solder bridge is arranged between the input port of the power conversion circuit and the main body circuit of the power conversion circuit. The second solder bridge is arranged between the output port of the power conversion circuit and the main body circuit of the power conversion circuit.
