US Patent 10320223 Circuit device, power receiving device, and electronic apparatus

A circuit device includes a power supply portion that supplies power from a battery to a power supply target, and a control portion that controls the power supply portion. The power supply portion includes a charge pump circuit that steps down a battery voltage VBAT of the battery to a voltage that is m/n times the battery voltage VBAT, and supplies the stepped down voltage to the power supply target from a terminal (n is an integer of one or more, m is an integer of one or more and (n−1) or less). The control portion stops a charge pump operation of the charge pump circuit when a voltage VOUT′ of the terminal satisfies the expression VOUT′>VBAT×m/n.
