Abstract

In a negative step-up charge pump circuit according to the present invention, of a plurality of stages of charge transfer transistors and an output transistor, the former-stage transistors are P channel type field effect transistors, and the later-stage transistors are N channel type field effect transistors. With such configuration, it is possible to avoid start-up failure and current driving performance deterioration resulting from an increase in the number of stages of step-up units without complicating processes and increasing the chip size.
