Abstract
Memory devices, circuits, and methods for voltage control in memory devices are provided. One example method includes adjusting a rate of change of a reference voltage based on a step voltage and a step time duration, where adjusting the rate of change of the reference voltage includes changing the reference voltage by the step voltage over a time period that equals the step time duration. An output voltage from one or more charge pumps is generated using the reference voltage, where a ratio between the output voltage and the reference voltage is locked.
