Abstract
A logic circuit includes: a main switching means for changing conduction state between at least two terminals in accordance with a voltage supplied to a control terminal; and a voltage converting means for converting a voltage at an input terminal and outputting the converted voltage to the control terminal.
Claims6
A logic circuit comprising:
- a main switching means for changing conduction state between at least two terminals in accordance with a voltage supplied to a control terminal;
- and
- a voltage converting means for converting a voltage at an input terminal and outputting the converted voltage to the control terminal, the voltage converting means including a voltage generating means and a sub switching means,
- wherein the voltage converting means supplies a higher voltage than that of the input terminal to the control terminal in a first state;
- and the voltage converting means supplies a lower voltage than that of the input terminal to the control terminal in a second state;
- the first state being a state of the input terminal where the main switching means is conductive;
- and the second state being a state of the input terminal where the main switching means is non-conductive.
