A boost circuit includes: first transistors connected in series between a voltage input node and a voltage output node to constitute a charge transfer circuit; and first capacitors, one ends of which are coupled to the respective connection nodes between the first transistors, the other ends thereof being applied with clocks with plural phases, wherein a gate of a certain stage transistor corresponding to one of the first transistors in the charge transfer circuit is coupled to a drain of another stage transistor corresponding to another one of the first transistors, which is disposed nearer to the voltage output node than the certain stage transistor and driven by the same phase clock as that of the certain stage transistor, the certain stage transistor being disposed nearer to the voltage output node than an initial stage transistor.
