Abstract
A first pump circuit is coupled to a first pump signal line and is configured to generate a first voltage greater than a power supply voltage at an output thereof responsive to transition of the first pump signal line from a ground voltage to the power supply voltage. A second pump circuit includes a first switching circuit configured to couple a first capacitor between the output of the first pump circuit and a ground voltage node responsive to the transition of a first pump signal line from the ground voltage to the power supply voltage to charge the first capacitor to the first voltage, and to couple a second capacitor between the first capacitor and a second pump signal line responsive to a transition of the second pump signal line from the ground voltage to the power supply voltage to generate a second voltage greater than the first voltage.
