Abstract:
The present invention discloses a flash-memory low-speed read mode control circuit, which comprises a charge pump, a first voltage division circuit composed of two resistors and a first switch interconnected in series, and a second voltage division circuit composed of two capacitors interconnected in series. The first switch is used for switching between the data read mode of the low-speed read mode and the charge pump electric-leakage mode. In the data read mode, a first component voltage formed by the two resistors is fed back to the input terminal of the charge pump through a comparator, an NAND gate and a buffer, making a stable value of the output voltage of the charge pump proportional to the first component voltage. In the charge pump electric-leakage mode, the second voltage division circuit monitors the output voltage of the charge pump: when the output voltage is below a low threshold voltage, a feedback signal is formed and sent to the input terminal of the charge pump to make the charge pump turned on; when the output voltage is above a low threshold voltage, a feedback signal is formed and sent to the input terminal of the charge pump to make the charge pump stop working. The present invention can reduce the average current of the entire low-speed read mode significantly, and reduce the power consumption of the read process.
