摘要:Improvement technology of a charge pump circuit is provided for avoidingdevice destruction due to electrification of an intermediate node of plural capacitors
coupled in series to form one step-up capacitor, and avoiding reduction of pump
efficiency due to leakage current which flows through a leakage path of the intermediatenode concerned. A charge pump circuit includes a step-up capacitor configured by a firstcapacitance and a second capacitance coupled in series, a capacitance driver, and aprotection circuit. The protection circuit is set at a conductive state and discharges astored charge at the series coupling node of the first capacitance and the secondcapacitance, when the step-up voltage is not generated, and the protection circuit ismaintained in a non-conductive state, when the step-up voltage is generated.
Accordingly, relaxation of the withstand voltage of the step-up capacitor is achieved, andreduction of the pump efficiency is avoided.
