Abstract:
Charge pumps of integrated circuit devices might include an input configured to receive an internally-generated first voltage level, an output, and a plurality of stages between its input and output. A particular stage might include a voltage isolation device, a voltage driver, and a capacitance having a first electrode connected to an output of the voltage driver and a second electrode connected to the voltage isolation device. The voltage driver might be responsive to a clock signal and to a voltage level of the output of the voltage driver to selectively connect the output of the voltage driver to either a first voltage node configured to receive the first voltage level, a second voltage node configured to receive a second voltage level lower than the first voltage level, or a third voltage node configured to receive a third voltage level lower than the second voltage level.
