Abstract

A conversion circuit includes a main device including a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal, and a voltage control switching circuit including a first terminal configured to receive an first driving signal, a second terminal coupled to the control terminal of the main device and configured to transmit a second driving signal to drive the main device, and a reference terminal coupled to the second terminal of the main device. A current passing through the voltage control switching device is controlled in response to a voltage level of the reference terminal.

Claims (20)

1. A conversion circuitry, comprising:

a first conversion circuit, comprising:

a first main device, comprising a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal;

a first voltage control switching circuit, comprising:

a first terminal configured to receive a first driving signal;

a second terminal coupled to the control terminal of the first main device, and configured to transmit a second driving signal to drive the first main device; and

a reference terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first main device, wherein a voltage level of the second driving signal is generated by the first voltage control switching circuit; and

a second conversion circuit series connected to the first conversion circuit, comprising:

a second main device, comprising a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal;

a second voltage control switching circuit, comprising:

a first terminal configured to receive the first driving signal;

a second terminal coupled to the control terminal of the second main device, and configured to transmit a third driving signal to drive the second main device, wherein the first main device is turned on according to the second driving signal when the second main device is turned on; and

a second reference terminal coupled to the second terminal of the second main device, wherein a voltage level of the third driving signal is generated by the second voltage control switching circuit.

2. The conversion circuitry of claim 1 , wherein the first conversion circuit and the second conversion circuit are integrated or packaged together with system in package, system on chip, or 3D IC.

3. The conversion circuitry of claim 1 , wherein the voltage level of the second driving signal is generated by the first voltage control switching circuit in response to a reference voltage of the first voltage control switching circuit.

4. The conversion circuitry of claim 3 , wherein the first voltage control switching circuit comprises:

a voltage-control switch comprising:

a drain terminal coupled to the first terminal of the first voltage control switching circuit;

a source terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first voltage control switching circuit; and

a gate terminal coupled to the reference terminal of the first voltage control switching circuit.
