A charge pump and method of operation are provided. The charge pump includes a first boosting unit configured to receive a pre-charge voltage and electrically charge a first MOS capacitor during a pre-charge period, and to boost a voltage of a connection node to a first output voltage during a boosting operation period, and a second boosting unit configured to receive the pre-charge voltage and electrically charge a second MOS capacitor during the pre-charge period, and to receive the first output voltage and boost a voltage of an output node to a second output voltage during the boosting operation period. Here, the pre-charge voltage is applied to electrically charge a parasitic capacitor during a parasitic capacitor charging period between the pre-charge period and the boosting operation period.
