Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to, for example, a voltage balancing circuit for a plurality of semiconductor devices connected in series, and a switching circuit and a power conversion device using the voltage balancing circuit. Background technique [0002] For example, by connecting a plurality of semiconductor devices as switching elements in series, using them as a single element, and synchronously turning on and off the switches, a switch with high withstand voltage characteristics can be realized with a low withstand voltage device circuit. Here, since a semiconductor device with a low breakdown voltage is significantly cheaper than a semiconductor device with a high breakdown voltage, and its on-resistance is also small, it is possible to achieve low cost and high operating efficiency. However, due to variations in the electrical characteristics of semiconductor devices, the voltage balance may be disrupted and the voltage design standards may b...
