ABSTRACT:
Charge pump structures (100, 110) are disclosed having a reservoir capacitor (40, 86) and a pump capacitor (26, 84) embedded in a switch network. Each of the switches (120) in the network is formed as an MOS transistor having a gate (122) which defines an array of spaced apertures (124) and a plurality of sources (130) and drains (132) each disposed beneath a different one of the apertures.
