<p>In a charge pump type booster circuit, a capacitance coupling is performed between each capacitor of a charge pump series and each capacitor of another charge pump series by an equalizer, and a discharge current of the capacitors of one charge pump series is used as a charging current for the capacitors of the other charge pump series. Thereafter, each capacitor in each charge pump series is subjected to a generally high or low potential coupling by a driver circuit. As a result, the sum of charge/discharge currents of the capacitors in each charge pump series can be half as much as compared to when a single charge pump type booster circuit is provided. Even when a number n of stages of the charge pump series is increased, the power consumption can be reduced. <IMAGE></p> |
