ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a booster circuit which uses multiple pump circuits to provide high voltages. The pump circuits are provided with an input voltage Vcc and are generally each made up of a diode and a capacitor. A node driving circuit provides driving signals to driving nodes and thereby to the pump circuits. The driving nodes are connected by a charge transfer switch which is selectively activated so as to allow charge that would otherwise be lost to ground to be conserved for inclusion in the final high-output voltage.
