Abstract
Serially connected low voltage transistors are used to replace a high voltage transistor in a voltage conversion circuit for a driver, or parallel connected sub-transistors are used to establish a high voltage transistor having an effective size dynamically adjusted according to loading of the driver, to reduce switching loss and thereby improve the efficiency of the driver.
