Abstract
A system for providing a load current at a specific voltage to a circuit block of an integrated circuit (IC) includes a plurality of charge pumps and a control circuit to generate a control signal for each of the charge pumps. The control signal causes each of the charge pumps to be enabled, partially enabled, or disabled, and controls at least one of the charge pumps independently of the other charge pumps.
