Abstract
Charge pump tracker circuitry is disclosed having a first switch network configured to couple a first flying capacitor between a voltage input terminal and a ground terminal during a first charging phase and couple the first flying capacitor between the voltage input terminal and a pump output terminal during a first discharging phase. A second switch network is configured to couple a second flying capacitor between the voltage input terminal and the ground terminal during a second charging phase and couple the second flying capacitor between the voltage input terminal and the pump output terminal during a second discharging phase. A switch controller is configured to monitor first and second voltages across the first and second flying capacitors, respectively, during the first and second discharging phases and in response to control the first and second switch networks so that the first the second discharging phases alternate in an interleaved mode.
