Abstract
A charge pump circuit of an embodiment includes a current mirror circuit, a first drive switch, a capacitor and a switch circuit. The current mirror circuit causes a current obtained by mirroring a reference current to flow to a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The first drive switch connects or disconnects the first output terminal and a charge pump output terminal. The switch circuit connects the capacitor either to a discharge path between the second output terminal and a node which provides a predetermined voltage or to a charge path between the charge pump output terminal and a GND.
