Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a series-connected power supply circuit and a data processing device. The series-connected power supply circuit comprises: at least two layers of to-be-powered chips (A1, A2, . . . , Am) connected in series between a first power supply end (A) and a second power supply end (B), with a highest-layer to-be-powered chip (Am) in the at least two layers of to-be-powered chips (A1, A2, . . . , Am) connected to the first power supply end (A), and a bottommost-layer to-be-powered chip (A1) in the at least two layers of to-be-powered chips (A1, A2, . . . , Am) connected to the second power supply end (B); and each layer of auxiliary power supply units (B1, B2, . . . , Bm), which is respectively connected to each layer of the to-be-powered chips (A1, A2, . . . , Am), wherein the first power supply end (A) is configured to receive a reference voltage.
