Abstract
A device includes a level shifter and a voltage multiplier. The level shifter is responsive to a first clock signal configured to shift the first clock signal to a second clock signal at a higher level than the first clock signal based on a node voltage. The voltage multiplier is responsive to the second clock signal for generating the node voltage. The node voltage is output from the voltage multiplier for driving a load and is further fed back to the level shifter for generating the second clock signal.
