An electronic circuit having first (VSS) and second (VDD) power supply terminals and comprising a first digital driver (DRV) and a further digital driver (DRVF). The digital drivers (DRV, DRVF) are arranged for driving capacitive loads such as charge pump capacitors (CP1, CP2) of a charge pump (CHGP). The first digital driver (DRV) comprises a first field effect transistor (T1) having a source coupled to the first power supply terminal (VSS), a drain coupled for driving the first charge pump capacitor (CP1), and a gate; a second field effect transistor (T2) having a source coupled to the second power supply terminal (VDD), a drain coupled to the drain of the first field effect transistor (T1), and a gate; a first capacitor (C1) coupled between the gate of the first field effect transistor (T1) and an input terminal (CLK) for receiving a digital input signal (UCLK); and a second capacitor (C2) coupled between the gate of the second field effect transistor (T2) and the input terminal (CLK). The further digital driver (DRVF) is constructed in a similar way as the digital driver (DRV). DC paths are formed between the gates of field effect transistors (T1-T4) and the supply terminals (VSS, VDD). Owing to the special construction of the digital drivers (DRV, DRVF), there is never a short-circuit current between the digital drivers (DRV, DRVF). As a result, the digital drivers (DRV, DRVF) have a very high power efficiency.
