Abstract

PURPOSE: To turn on an LED without providing any booster transformer by composing a booster circuit only of a semiconductor element, resistor and capacitor. CONSTITUTION: A self-running multivibrator 11 composed of two transistors has two outputs 21 and 22 with phases different at 180 deg.. Namely, the respective outputs 21 and 22 are AC signals having the amplitudes of GND and +B and their phases are made different at 180' each other. The output signal of 21 is coupled by a capacitor 12 and level-shifted by a diode 13 with +B as a reference. This level-shifted output 23 is the AC signal having the amplitude from +B to +2B. On the other hand, the output signal 22 with the phase different from that of the output signal 21 at 180 deg. is coupled by a capacitor 14 and level-shifted by a diode 15 with the GND as a reference. This level-shifted output 24 is the AC signal having the amplitude from GND to -B. Thus, since three-times potential difference as much as a power supply voltage is provided at peak or double potential difference is provided in average even without using any booster transformer, even at miniaturized portable equipment, the LED is turned on while saving a space.
