Abstract
A voltage conversion circuit is disclosed. The voltage conversion circuit includes an inductor, a first switch transistor, a second switch transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor and a P type transistor. When an input voltage is larger than an output voltage and a switch signal is transited to low voltage level, a control signal is a clamping voltage and the P type transistor enters into a saturation region, so that a drain voltage of the first switch transistor is a sum of the clamping voltage and a source-gate voltage of the P type transistor. When an output voltage is larger than an input voltage and a switch signal is changed to low voltage level, the control signal is the switch signal and the P type transistor enters into a linear region, so that a drain voltage of the first switch transistor is sum of the output voltage and voltage-drop of the P type transistor.
