Abstract
A first and a second transistors coupled in series by connecting the collector of the first one to the emitter of the second one are connected at the collector of the second transistor through a resistor to a first power source of a voltage as high as about two times the breakdown voltage of these transistors, a third transistor is coupled at the collector to the base of the second transistor and a second power source of the lower voltage than the first power source through a load resistor, and the base of the third transistor is connected to the base of the first transistor; whereby an output voltage of the second transistor is divided into the respective collector-emitter voltages of the first and second transistors, and the output voltage exceeding the breakdown voltage of the transistor is obtainable.
