Abstract

A stage-based frequency optimization for a charge pump achieves a higher area efficiency by operating different stages of the charge pump at their optimized frequency simultaneously, instead of single common frequency, to obtain greater output strength. A first set of stages uses triple well devices as transfer switches and operates at a first, higher frequency. The first stages supply a second set of stages using high voltage devices as transfer switches and operates at a second, lower frequency. The two set of stages are connected through a frequency transition circuit.
