    Abstract: A supply voltage generating circuit that enables a reduction in chip area includes: a booster for outputting a boosted voltage upon generating the boosted voltage by charge pumping of a capacitor element; a power-supply step-down unit for stepping down voltage of an external power supply to a voltage within a breakdown-voltage range of the capacitor element, and applying the stepped-down voltage to the power supply of the booster; and a switch element for switching between application of the external power supply to the power supply of the booster directly or via the power-supply step-down unit. The booster comprises multiple stages of booster circuits. The thicknesses of gate oxide films of capacitor elements constituted by MOS transistors included in respective ones of the booster circuits are the same and are made smaller than the thickness of a gate oxide film of a MOS transistor included in a load circuit having the output of the booster at its power supply.

    Abstract: An internal-voltage generating circuit includes a plurality of generating units connected in cascade, out of the plurality of generating units, a generating unit of relatively lower level is activated by an output of a generating unit of relatively higher level. According to the present invention, because the plural voltage generating units are connected in cascade, the voltage generating unit of lower level is not activated unless the voltage generating unit of higher level is activated. Therefore, at least the voltage generating unit of the second level and the subsequent voltage generating units consume very small power during the standby time. Consequently, total power consumption of the internal-voltage generating circuit can be reduced.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a reference voltage generating circuit which includes resistors R0, R0 and R3, a differential amplifier A1 and transistors Q1, Q2 and Q3. The collectors of the transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected to differential input terminals of the differential amplifier, while one ends of the R0, R0 and R3 are connected in common to an output of the differential amplifier A1. The other ends of the two resistors R0 are connected in common to the collectors of the transistors Q1 and Q2, while the other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the collector and the base of the transistor Q3, which transistor Q3 has the base connected to the bases of the transistors Q1 and Q2. The emitter size ratio of the transistors Q1 and Q2 is set to 1:N. A current of a value approximately equal to that of the collector current of the transistor Q1 or Q2 and a current with a positive temperature coefficient larger than the first-stated current are caused to flow through the resistor R1. The reference voltage generating circuit outputs a voltage corresponding to the sum of a voltage generated across both ends of the resistor R1 and a base-to-emitter voltage VBE3 of the transistor Q3.
