An inrush current at beginning of operation of a charge pump circuit is reduced to prevent adverse effect on other circuits in a system. Charge transfer MOS transistors are connected in series. One end of each coupling capacitor is connected to each connecting point of the charge transfer MOS transistors. An output from each clock driver is applied on the other end of the respective coupling capacitor. Each clock driver includes a first clock driver and a second clock driver having higher driving capacity than the first clock driver. Each clock driver is controlled so that the first clock driver is put into operation at first and at the end of a predetermined elapsed time it is stopped and the second clock driver is put into operation.

A charge pump circuit in a gate controller provides a pumped gate control voltage to switches of a DC/DC converter. Different input voltages may be applied to the controller and an input voltage higher than the charge pump output could result in circuit damage. A clamp circuit between the input and output prevents the output voltage from being significantly below the input voltage to prevent such damage. The clamp circuit may be a transistor controlled by a comparator or amplifier.

A high voltage AC power supply circuit for a capacitive load CL, such as an electroluminescent lamp, includes a low voltage DC supply, an inductor L and a FET S in series. The FET S can be pulsed so that the inductor L generates a voltage to charge the capacitive load CL via an H-bridge H, which is in parallel with the FET S. A diode D prevents current discharging from the capacitive load CL while the FET S is closed. The total capacitance downstream of the diode D and in parallel with the capacitive load CL is less than the capacitive load CL, so that when the polarity of the H-bridge is reversed, the voltage across the H-bridge collapses to earth and the capacitive load CL is discharged via the low voltage DC supply. The circuits which a employ a large smoothing capacitor in parallel with the H-bridge.
