Bootstrap circuit and semiconductor device having bootstrap circuit
A bootstrap circuit of which the capacitance of a bootstrap capacitor is small and which requires a shorter precharge period is provided. The bootstrap circuit includes transistors M41 and M42, capacitors BSC1 and BSC2, an inverter INV41, and keeper circuits 43 and 44. A signal OSG with a high voltage is generated from an input signal OSG_IN. As the signal OSG_IN is made a high level, a node SWG is made a high level by BSC1. After a signal BSE1 is made a high level and the node SWG is made a low level by the keeper circuit 44, a signal BSE2 is made a high level. By the capacitance coupling of BSC2, a voltage of an output terminal 22 increases.
