Abstract

A power supply circuit included in a computer system is configured to generate a particular voltage level on a regulated power supply node using multiple charge pump circuits coupled together via a regulation device to provide regulation. A first charge pump circuit is configured to, using a voltage of an input power supply node, generate an intermediate voltage level, which is regulated by the regulation device. The second charge pump is configured to generate a voltage level on the regulated power supply node using a regulated version of intermediate voltage level. An impedance of the regulation device is adjusted using results of comparing the voltage level of the regulated power supply node to a reference voltage.
