ABSTRACT:
A charge pump circuit comprises two MOS transistors serially connected between a power supply voltage VDD and ground, a switch SW0, four switches SW1through SW4, four capacitors C1through C4, and four switches SW5through SW8. If a control voltage Vcntl is to be varied, a specific switch SW of the switches SW1through SW4is turned on such that a specific capacitor is charged to the power supply voltage VDD. Then, a specific switch SW of the switches SW5through SW8is turned on to transfer the electric charge stored in the capacitor to the capacitor of a low-pass filter and thereby the control voltage is controlled at a desired value.
