ABSTRACT:
A high efficiency charge pump includes first and second charging transistors for delivering current to a substrate or well and first and second capacitors respectively coupled to the first and second charging transistors. A control circuit coupled to the first and second charging transistors discharges the first capacitor through the first charging transistor and precharges the second capacitor during a first half-cycle of a ring oscillator output signal. The control circuit discharges the second capacitor through the second charging transistor and precharges the first capacitor during a second half-cycle of the ring oscillator output signal. The control circuit also includes first and second symmetrical halves respectively coupled to third and fourth capacitors. The first, second, third, and fourth capacitors are energized by a four-phase clock signal.
