    摘要: A voltage doubler circuit supports operation in both a positive voltage boosting mode to positively boost voltage from a first node to a second node and a negative voltage boosting mode to negatively boost voltage from the second node to the first node. The voltage doubler circuit is formed by transistors of a same conductivity type that share a common bulk that is not tied to a source of any of the voltage doubler circuit transistors. A bias generator circuit is coupled to receive a first voltage from the first node and second voltage from the second node. The bias generator circuit operates to apply a lower one of the first and second voltages to the common bulk.

    摘要: A voltage multiplier circuit operates in response to a received clock signal to perform a voltage multiplication operation on an input voltage to generate an output voltage. The voltage multiplier circuit includes a pair of intermediate nodes that are capacitively coupled to receive, respectively, opposite phases of a clock signal. A first CMOS driver circuit is coupled to one of the intermediate nodes and has an output configured to generate one phase of a level shifted output clock signal. A second CMOS driver circuit is coupled to another one of the intermediate nodes and has an output configured to generate another phase of the level shifted output clock signal.
