A circuit device includes: a first booster circuit, started by a predetermined input voltage, which converts the input voltage into a first boosted voltage higher than the input voltage; a capacitor, connected to the booster circuit, which charges the first boosted voltage; a second booster circuit, connected to the capacitor via a first switch element and started by a storage voltage in the capacitor, which converts the input voltage into a second boosted voltage higher than the first boosted voltage; and a second switch element which connects an output terminal of the second booster circuit with the capacitor. The first switch element turns on to start the second booster circuit so as to supply the storage voltage in the capacitor to the second booster circuit. After the second booster circuit has been started, the first switch element turns off to stop supplying the storage voltage. After the second booster circuit has been started, the second switch element turns on to supply the second boosted voltage to the capacitor.
