The present technology relates to a charge pump circuit that enables reduction of a circuit area. Provided is a charge pump circuit including: a first transistor; a second transistor to which a constant current is supplied; a third transistor connected to the first transistor and a voltage source; a fourth transistor group including N transistors arranged in a cascade on the first transistor side, the N transistors all including control terminals connected to the second transistor; a fifth transistor group including N transistors arranged in a cascade on the second transistor side, the N transistors all including control terminals connected to the second transistor; a first switch that connects the first transistor to the second transistor; a second switch that connects the first transistor to a ground node; a third switch that connects the third transistor to the fifth transistor group; and a fourth switch that connects the third transistor to the ground node.

Charge pump circuit

Disclosed herein is a receiver including: a first mixer adapted to mix satellite signals from first and second satellites and a first local oscillation signal so as to convert a carrier frequency of the satellite signals into a lower first intermediate frequency; a second mixer adapted to mix a satellite signal of the second satellite frequency-converted by the first mixer and a second local oscillation signal so as to convert the first intermediate frequency of the frequency-converted satellite signal from the second satellite into an even lower second intermediate frequency; and a first frequency divider adapted to generate the second local oscillation signal by dividing a frequency of the first local oscillation signal.
