A conventional charge pump circuit requires a step-up circuit or the like
for turning on or off a transistor. Therefore, it has a problem of an
increase in circuit scale, which leads to increases in circuit area and
power consumption. One feature is to provide a charge pump circuit
including a first transistor, a switch, a first capacitor, a second
capacitor, and an inverter, in which one electrode of the first
transistor is connected to a first potential, an output side of the
inverter is connected to the other electrode of the first transistor and
one side of the switch through the first capacitor, the other side of the
switch is connected to a second potential through the second capacitor.
