Abstract
A reciprocating or ping-pong voltage boosting circuit is described. The ping-pong boosting circuit has a first and a second boost circuit connected between the power supply voltage source and a ground reference point to generate a first instance and a second instance of a boost voltage. The reciprocating circuit has a switching circuit to alternately place the first and second instance of the boost voltage upon the signal line to bring the voltage level of the signal line to that of the boost voltage. A boost control circuit will provide a switching signal that will control the alternate placing of the first and second instances of the boost voltage upon the signal line. The boost control circuit will provide a boost signal that will cause the first and second boost circuits to generate the first and second instances of the boost voltage.
