A method for voltage detection and lockout. The method of one embodiment first compares a reference voltage to a supply voltage to determine whether the voltage supply voltage is greater than the reference voltage. The reference voltage is validated by determining whether the reference voltage is at least a valid voltage potential. An unlock signal is generated if the supply voltage is greater than the reference voltage and if the reference voltage is valid.

Method and apparatus for flash voltage detection and lockout

A split clock buffer for providing clock signals to a negative charge pump. The split clock buffer receives a first phase and a second phase of the clock signal, pumps the voltage level of the first phase from a first voltage level to a second voltage level. Then, the buffer outputs the pumped first phase to a boot node of the negative charge pump, and outputs the second phase to a pump node of the negative charge pump.
