Abstract: There is disclosed an integrated control circuit (3) for a charge pump (1). The integrated circuit comprises a first device (112,N1,N2,R,12) suitable for regulating the output voltage (Vout) of the charge pump (1) and a second device (113,M10,M11,C11,11) suitable for increasing the output voltage (Vout) from the charge pump with a set ramp. The integrated circuit comprises means (111) suitable for activating said first device and providing it with a first value of a supply signal (Ireg) in a first period of time (A) and suitable for activating said second device and for providing it with a second value (Iramp) of the supply signal that is greater than the first value in a second period of time (C) after the first in such a way that the output voltage of the charge pump ascends a ramp from a first value (Vlow) to a second value (Vhigh) that is greater than the first value, said second value being fixed by the reactivation of the first device.
