A switched-capacitor charge pump device is proposed, which is designed for integration to a circuit system, such as a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit system, for generation of an output direct-current (DC) voltage with a wide amplitude range; and which is characterized by the utilization of two switched-capacitor circuit units in addition to the output capacitor circuit and the utilization of an output voltage comparing circuit (such as a Schmitt trigger) for comparing the end-result output DC voltage against a half-amplitude drive voltage such that when the switched-capacitor circuit units are subjected to a charging-discharging action for voltage pump-up or pump down operations, the switched-capacitor circuit units are switched between a full-amplitude drive voltage and a half-amplitude drive voltage. This feature allows the invention to provide an output DC voltage with a wider amplitude range than prior art.
