A charge pump circuit includes a plurality of pumping capacitors, a plurality of switches connected to the pumping capacitors, and a controller for generating first and second sets of switch control signals for controlling the switches so that the pumping capacitors generate either an increased or a negative output voltage. The controller includes a clock having first outputs for the first set of switch control signals, a transient clamp network having second outputs for the second set of switch control signals, and a respective level shifting capacitor connected between each first output and a corresponding second output and cooperating with the transient clamp network so that the second set of signals is level shifted from the first set. |
