A bootstrap clock generator powered by a variable DC power supply voltage signal generates an approximate boost voltage signal depending on the DC power supply voltage signal level. The clock generator comprises a capacitor having a first and a second terminal and a first switching circuit coupled to the first terminal so as to couple the variable voltage supply signal to the first terminal. A second switching circuit is coupled to the second terminal so as to couple a variable reference voltage signal to the second terminal. A third switching circuit is coupled to the second terminal so as to connect a substantially fixed reference voltage signal to the second terminal. A first and a second control signal activates the switching circuits, such that the first control signal activates the first and second switching circuits, and the second control signal activates the third switching circuit.
