Abstract
Embodiments of a charge pump circuit and a method for operating a charge pump circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment, a charge pump circuit includes a charge pump configured to generate a charge pump output voltage, a transistor array including multiple transistor devices that includes at least one transistor device having a back gate terminal coupled to the charge pump output voltage, and a control circuit configured to control the charge pump output voltage so as to regulate the back bias voltage of the transistor devices within the transistor array. Other embodiments are also described.
