Claims
- 1. 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.
- 2. A logic circuit according to claim 1, wherein the voltage converting means further includes a first capacitor of which a first terminal is connected to the input terminal and a second capacitor of which a first terminal is connected to the input terminal; and wherein the sub switching meansconnects a second terminal of the first capacitor to the ground and connects a second terminal of the second capacitor to the control terminal of the main switching means in the first state; and connects the second terminal of the first capacitor to the control terminal of the main switching means and connects the second terminal of the second capacitor to the voltage generating means in the second state.
- 3. A logic circuit according to claim 2, wherein the main switching means includes an N-channel MOS FET.
- 4. 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 non-conductive; and the second state being a state of the input terminal where the main switching means is conductive.
- 5. A logic circuit according to claim 4, wherein the voltage converting means further includes a first capacitor of which a first terminal is connected to the input terminal and a second capacitor of which a first terminal is connected to the input terminal; and wherein the sub switching meansconnects a second terminal of the first capacitor to the ground and connects a second terminal of the second capacitor to the control terminal of the main switching means in the first state; and connects the second terminal of the first capacitor to the control terminal of the main switching means and connects the second terminal of the second capacitor to the voltage generating means in the second state.
- 6. A logic circuit according to claim 5, wherein the main switching means includes a P-channel MOS FET.
