ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a voltage converter for generating an output voltage at an output terminal from an input voltage VDD taken from ground GND, said voltage converter comprising a switched capacitance Cp arranged in a bridge of transistors of the MOS type functioning as switches, each transistor being controlled by a control signal having a level varying in the rhythm of a clock signal clock. The invention is characterized in that the converter comprises at least a control circuit for supplying said control signal applied between the gate and the source of one of the transistors functioning as a switch, said control circuit having the particular function of generating a control signal having an amplitude which is inversely proportional to the input voltage VDD when the transistor which it controls is equivalent to a closed switch.
