Abstract
In one example, a system comprises a plurality of charge pump units connected in parallel to receive an input voltage and to generate an output voltage greater than the input voltage and a pumping controller to provide a pumping signal to a first charge pump unit of the plurality of charge pump units and to provide sequentially delayed versions of the pumping signal to the other charge pump units of the plurality of charge pump units.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of charge pump units connected in parallel to receive an input voltage and to generate an output voltage greater than the input voltage;
- and
- a pumping controller to provide a pumping signal to a first charge pump unit of the plurality of charge pump units and to provide sequentially delayed versions of the pumping signal to the other charge pump units of the plurality of charge pump units.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a plurality of charge pump units connected in parallel, an input voltage;
- providing a pumping signal to a first pump unit in the plurality of charge pump units;
- providing sequentially delayed versions of the pumping signal to the other charge pump units in the plurality of charge pump units;
- and
- generating, by the plurality of charge pump units, an output voltage greater than the input voltage.
