Abstract:
Charge pump stages are coupled between flying capacitor pairs and arranged in a cascaded between a bottom voltage line and an output voltage line. Gain stages apply pump phase signals having a certain amplitude to the charge pump stages via the flying capacitors. A feedback signal path from the output voltage line to the bottom voltage line applies a feedback control signal to the bottom voltage line. Power supply for the gain stages is provided by a voltage of the feedback control signal in order to control the amplitude of the pump phase signals. An asynchronous logic circuit generates the switching drive signals for the gain stages with a certain switching frequency which is a function of a logic supply voltage derived from the voltage of the feedback control signal.
