    摘要: A boosting circuit is provided with a voltage detection circuit, first through fourth oscillators, and first through fourth charge pump circuits. The voltage detection circuit compares each of the first through fourth voltages obtained by dividing a boosted voltage with a reference voltage, and generates first through fourth activation signals. The first through fourth oscillators output pulse signals at first through fourth frequencies, respectively, as first through fourth drive signals. The first through fourth charge pump circuits operate in response to the first through fourth drive signals, respectively, and boost the boosted voltage. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a stable boosted voltage, with suppressing over shoot and under shoot with respect to the boosted voltage as a target.

    摘要: An image sensor with a small circuit area is provided. In the image sensor, a TX decoder which generates transfer signals TX includes a latch circuit. The latch circuit is set when a corresponding row group is selected and when a set signal is set to an “H” level, and is reset when a reset signal is set to an “L” level. The latch circuit serves also as a voltage level shift circuit which converts the “H” level of a signal from a first power supply voltage into a second power supply voltage. Therefore, plural row groups can be selected by setting plural latch circuits. It is not necessary to provide a voltage level shift circuit separately.
