A charge pump circuit with bipolar output comprises a first set of switch device capable of selectively connecting two terminals of a first transfer capacitor to a voltage source and a ground terminal, respectively, a second set of switch device capable of selectively connecting the two terminals of the first transfer capacitor to a grounded first storage capacitor and the voltage source, respectively, a third set of switch device capable of selectively connecting two terminals of a second transfer capacitor to the first transfer capacitor connected to the voltage source and the ground terminal, respectively, and a fourth set of switch device capable of selectively connecting the two terminals of the second transfer capacitor to a grounded second storage capacitor and the ground terminal, respectively. These four sets of switch devices totally have nine switches, and are collocated with clock signals to be selectively driven by a four-phase signal or a two-phase signal so as to produce bipolar voltages with magnitudes higher than the input voltage and also accomplish the highest conversion efficiency.
A charge pump circuit with bipolar output producing bipolar output voltages based on an input voltage, said charge pump circuit comprising:
