Abstract
A DC-DC converter includes a charge pump unit and a clock pulse generator unit. The charge pump unit precharges a boost node in response to a precharge clock pulse and boosts the boost node to a boosted voltage in response to a pump clock pulse. The clock pulse generator unit generates the precharge clock pulse and the pump clock pulse in which corresponding pulse widths increase during multiple time intervals over time.
