CHARGE PUMP DEVICE

Abstract

A charge pump device is coupled to first and second input terminals receiving an AC signal and comprises an electric switch set and two voltage boost circuits. The electric switch set is coupled to the first and second input terminals and a ground terminal and switches the conduction status thereof according to the AC signal. The two voltage boost circuits are interconnected and coupled to the first and second input terminals and the electric switch set. The boost circuits receive the AC signal according to the conduction status, respectively boost voltage in positive and negative semi-periods of the AC signal, and alternatively output a voltage at least two times the peak voltage of the AC signal, to a load. The present invention not only boosts voltage by several folds within a cycle but also outputs voltage by dual phases to reduce ripple of output voltage.
