Abstract
An integrated circuit arrangement for providing operating voltages for a flash EEPROM memory array, which integrated circuit arrangement utilizes a plurality of charge pumps in a staggered output arrangement to generate a high voltage output while generating lower amounts of current from each individual charge pump so that the provision of the necessary current is integrated over the entire period of the voltage output. Unique circuitry is provided for regulating the value of the output voltage produced by the arrangement in response to variations in the output voltage produced.
