ABSTRACT:
A charge pump is proposed. The charge pump is integrated in a chip of semiconductor material and includes a plurality of capacitive elements each one connected to a corresponding circuit node of the charge pump, the circuit nodes being arranged in a sequence from an input node to an output node, a plurality of field effect transistors each one for selectively connecting a corresponding first circuit node with a second adjacent circuit node, each transistor being made in a corresponding insulated body region, and for each transistor first biasing means for equalizing the body region with the first circuit node when the transistor is closed, wherein for each transistor the charge pump further includes second biasing means for equalizing the body region with the second circuit node when the transistor is opened.
