Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for a voltage controlled charge pump and battery charger. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for operating a voltage controlled charge pump. The method includes selectively opening and closing a plurality of switches based on a voltage on a feedback path. The plurality of switches are coupled between a voltage input terminal and a voltage output terminal. A first capacitor is coupled between at least a first switch and a second switch of the plurality of switches. A second capacitor is coupled to the voltage output terminal. The feedback path is coupled to at least one of the voltage output terminal, the first capacitor, and the second capacitor.
