A voltage boosting circuit has two charge pumps connected to an output node from which a boosted potential, higher than the power-supply potential, is supplied to a load circuit. One charge pump is activated when the load circuit is activated, regardless of the output node potential. The other charge pump is activated while the load circuit is active, if the potential of the output node falls below a predetermined level. Use of these two charge pumps reduces electrical noise and ensures that the output node is brought to an adequate potential when the load circuit is activated.
