Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of non-volatile memory cells, a charge pump circuit configured to receive a clock signal and provide a plurality of voltages to the non-volatile memory cells, and a control circuit coupled to the non-volatile memory cells and the charge pump circuit. The control circuit is configured to reduce a current consumed by the apparatus by selectively reducing a clock rate of the clock signal depending on a memory operation being performed on the non-volatile memory cells.
