A negative voltage generator with AC coupled control signals is described. In an exemplary design, the generator includes four switches (which may be implemented with MOS transistors) and a capacitor. A first switch is coupled between a positive input voltage and a first end of the capacitor. A second switch is coupled between the first end of the capacitor and circuit ground. A third switch is coupled between a second end of the capacitor and circuit ground. A fourth switch is coupled between the second end of the capacitor and a negative output voltage. The first and second switches are controlled by first and second control signals, respectively. The third and fourth switches are controlled by first and second AC coupled control signals, respectively. The first and second AC coupled control signals may be generated by AC coupling the first and second control signals, respectively, and applying appropriate biasing.
