Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in order to obtain the same performance as the conventional boost circuit with an external capacitor, it is necessary to increase the switching frequency of the switching element in the charge pump circuit, resulting in an increase in current consumption due to an increase in the charge and discharge current of the capacitor.

Abstract

A booster circuit including first to Mth power supply lines (VL-1 to VL-M) (M is an integer larger than 4) and first and second charge-pump circuits. Each of the charge-pump circuit has first to (M-2)th boost capacitors (Cu1 to Cu(M-2)), wherein the jth boost capacitor (1<=j<=M-2, j is an integer) is connected between the jth power supply line and the (j+1)th power supply line in a first period and is connected between the (j+1)th power supply line and the (j+2)th power supply line in a second period subsequent to the first period. Each of the charge-pump circuits generates a boosted voltage by a charge-pump operation in different phases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a boost circuit, a semiconductor device and a display device. Background technique [0002] As the display device, a liquid crystal display device including an electro-optical device can be used. Mounting a liquid crystal display device in an electronic device can simultaneously achieve miniaturization and low power consumption of the electronic device. [0003] However, driving a liquid crystal display device requires a high voltage. Therefore, it is also suitable in terms of cost to incorporate a power supply circuit for generating a high voltage in a driver IC (Integrated Circuit) (semiconductor device in a broad sense) that drives an electro-optical device. At this time, the power supply circuit includes a boost circuit. The boost circuit boosts the voltage between the system power supply voltage VDD on the high potential side and the ground power supply voltage VSS on the low potential side to generate an output voltage...
