LOW VOLTAGE LOGIC CIRCUIT OPERATION USING HIGHER VOLTAGE SUPPLY LEVELS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a difference in current consumption between respective modules and thereby to reduce losses in current. PSOLUTION: A circuit comprises 2SPn/SPmodules 30, 34 that are connected in series between a first and a second reference potential, and 2SPn/SP-1 nodes 52 that are disposed between a plurality (2SPn/SP) of adjacent modules 30, 34, wherein each of 2SPn/SP-1 2:1 DC/DC converters 100 communicates with a respective one of the 2SPn-1/SPnodes to reduce the difference in current between the modules.
