    Abstract: A voltage boosting device for speeding power-up of multilevel nonvolatile memories, including a voltage regulator (11) and a charge pump (13) and having an output terminal (10); the voltage regulator (11) having a regulation terminal connected to the output terminal (10), and an output (16) supplying a control voltage (V L ); the read charge pump (13) having an output connected to the output terminal (10) and supplying a read voltage (V R ). The device further includes an enable circuit (12) connected to the output (16) and having a pump enable output (17) connected to a charge pump enable terminal (13) and supplying a pump enable signal (PE). The pump enable signal (PE) is set at a first logic level so as to activate the charge pump (13) when the read voltage (V R ) is lower than a nominal value. In addition, the device generates a power-up sync signal (ATDS) which activates a read operation when the read voltage (V R ) reaches its nominal value and a chip enable signal (CE) is set at an active value.
