Abstract

A capacitor type voltage divider circuit is disclosed. The divider has a plurality of reference voltage signals applied from an external source. A plurality of switching sections are provided for switching the reference voltage signals from the source in response to first and second clock signals. A plurality of dividing sections are provided which are each comprised of two capacitors for dividing the voltage signals from the switching section into a predetermined value. With the dividing circuit, precise levels of reference voltage signals are obtained and power consumption is low without an increase in size or lowering of operational speed.
