Abstract

A boost circuit includes a first p-type field effect transistor (PFET), a second PFET, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. A drain of the first PFET and a drain of the second PFET are coupled to a supply rail in a first voltage domain, a gate of the first PFET is coupled to a source of the second PFET, and a gate of the second PFET is coupled to a source of the first PFET. A first terminal of the first capacitor is coupled to the source of the first PFET and a first terminal of the second capacitor is coupled to the source of the second PFET. A second terminal of the first capacitor and a second terminal of the second capacitor are driven by a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively, in a second voltage domain.
