ABSTRACT:
Provided is a charge pump circuit whose power efficiency is not reduced even when a threshold voltage of a transistor is increased by a substrate effect with an increase in the number of stages. A depletion transistor is used as an N-channel transistor included in an inverter of a high-voltage clock generating circuit. A P-channel enhancement transistor is used as a charge transfer device.
