Abstract
This application discusses, among other things apparatus and methods for a voltage boost circuit. In an example, a voltage boost circuit can include first and second inverters, sharing a first supply node, and sharing a second supply node, a first charge transfer capacitor, configured to couple a first clock signal to the first inverter output, a second charge transfer capacitor, configured to couple a second clock signal to the second inverter output, the second clock signal being out-of-phase with the first clock signal, a first gate drive capacitor, configured to couple the first clock signal to the second inverter input, and a second gate drive capacitor, configured to couple the second clock signal to the first inverter input.
