Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A voltage generating circuit includes first and second step-up circuits, each having first and second input terminals and an output terminal and configured to increase a voltage level of an input signal supplied through the first input terminal and output the signal with the increased voltage level through the output terminal. The second input terminal of the first step-up circuit is connected to the output terminal of the second step-up circuit and the second input terminal of the second step-up circuit is connected to the output terminal of the first step-up circuit. The voltage generating circuit may also include third and fourth step-up circuits and fifth and sixth step-up circuits having similar configurations.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A voltage generating circuit, comprising: a voltage generator configured to receive an external voltage and to generate a first voltage; and a pump circuit configured to receive a second voltage and to generate a third voltage that is higher than the first voltage and a fourth voltage that is higher than the first voltage, the pump circuit including at least a first step-up circuit and a second step-up circuit, each having first and second input terminal…
