Original Abstract Submitted
In a power conversion circuit, a first end of an inductor is connected to a connection point between a first and a second switching elements. The first switching element is turned on and turned off by a gate driver. When the first switching element is turned on, a conduction current flows through the inductor and energy is stored. When the first switching element is turned off, due to release of the energy, a rectified current is generated through the second switching element. A loop of a gate current supplied by the gate driver is formed inside a loop of the rectified current. A magnetic flux that is in an opposite direction of a magnetic flux of the rectified current and is generated in the loop of the gate current generates an induced current in a direction opposite to the gate current, and charges accumulated in a gate are drawn out.
