Abstract

See full text

When a voltage difference between a raised output voltage vcp and an input voltage vin is larger than a set voltage value, based on a added-on voltage vup detected by a voltage monitor 3 or a current iu passing through the voltage monitor 3, the clock generator controller 4 is activated. Then the clock generator controller 4 draws in a frequency control current iw from a clock generator 1 side, switches the frequency Fclk of a clock signal CLK generated by the clock generator 1 from a first frequency, which is comparatively high, to a second frequency, which is one or more digits lower than the first frequency, and applies the clock signal CLK to the voltage raiser 2. The voltage raiser 2 saves power by performing voltage raising (charge pumping) at the second frequency.
