Abstract
To obtain a booster circuit capable of reducing voltage stress applied to a booster cell, provided is a booster circuit including a plurality of booster cells connected in series. Each of the plurality of booster cells includes a charge transfer transistor connected between an input terminal and an output terminal, and a boost capacitor connected between the input terminal and a clock terminal. Among the plurality of booster cells, a plurality of booster cells at least in a last stage are connected in parallel so that the plurality of booster cells connected in parallel are connected to a booster cell in a previous stage of the last stage by switching the plurality of booster cells in the last stage in accordance with a boosting operation.
