Abstract
A phase generator circuit cyclically produces a first pair of phase signals and a second pair of phase signals, comprising a first circuit to produce a first phase of each pair of phase signals, these first phase signals being non-overlapping and switching over between a voltage 0 and a voltage VCC, and second and third circuits for the production, from the first phase signals, respectively of the second phase of the first pair and the second phase of the second pair of phase signals, these second phase signals being non-overlapping with the first phase signals and switching over between a negative voltage -V and a voltage VCC. The disclosure finds application in the piloting of charge pump type of negative voltage generator circuit.
