Abstract
A voltage regulation system includes a voltage regulator configured to output a control signal indicating whether a voltage based on output of the voltage regulator is lower than a specified value. A charge pump is configured to output a voltage and a charging current. A pump monitor is configured to receive the control signal and the output voltage of the charge pump, and activate the charge pump when the control signal indicates the voltage based on output of the voltage regulator is lower than a specified value and the output voltage of the charge pump is lower than a threshold value.
