Abstract
In an embodiment, an output voltage control circuit includes a detection circuit that is connected to an input voltage terminal and configured to detect a voltage level of an input voltage received at the input voltage terminal and output one or more detection signals corresponding to a comparison of the voltage level of the input voltage to a plurality of predetermined voltage ranges. A selection circuit is connected to the detection circuit and configured to select a first voltage from among a plurality of first voltages according the one or more detection signals from the detection circuit. An output circuit is connected to the selection circuit and configured to output a second voltage by boosting the input voltage based on the first voltage selected by the selection unit.
