Abstract: A charge pump circuit (1) including a number of pull-up stages (2) connected in parallel with one another between a reference potential line (3) and an output line (4). Each stage (2) includes a capacitor (5) having a first terminal connected to a charging and discharging node (7), and a second terminal connected to a pull-up node (6) for switching between a first charging operating phase and a second charge transferring operating phase. The charging and discharging node (7) is connected to the supply line (3) via a charging transistor (9) having a control terminal connected to a high-voltage bias node (11) formed by the adjacent stage in the opposite operating phase, for charging the capacitor (5) substantially up to the supply voltage.

Abstract: A bit line selection decoder, particularly for electronic memories, comprising at least two bit lines, each of which can be selected by a respective switch, and a plurality of control lines that drive the switches. Its particularity resides in the fact that it comprises a decoder, in which the outputs drive the switches, and at least one first and one second bus of control lines that are arranged in input to the decoder and are adapted to address any one of the at least two bit lines.
