<p>Negative voltage generators that do not require level shifters or AC coupling capacitors are disclosed. In an exemplary design, a negative voltage generator includes first, second, third and fourth switches, a capacitor, and a control circuit. The first switch is coupled between an input node and a first node. The second switch is coupled between the first node and circuit ground. The third switch is coupled between a second node and circuit ground. The fourth switch is coupled between the second node and an output node. The input node receives a positive voltage, and the output node provides a negative voltage. The capacitor is coupled between the first and second nodes. The control circuit (e.g., an inverter) generates a control signal having positive and negative voltage levels for the third switch using a negative voltage level at the second node.</p> |
