A voltage converting device includes first to third voltage converters, each including a capacitor, a pair of charge switches for charging the capacitor, a pair of first output switches for outputting a first output voltage through the capacitor, and a pair of second output switches for outputting a second output voltage through the capacitor. Via timing control of the switches, outputs of the first and second output voltages are substantially continuous and are prevented from floating. |
