ABSTRACT:
In integrated circuits, to modify the operation of the charge pumps or voltage step-up circuits, they are sent a variable frequency signal at the input with the aim of breaking the regularity of the pulse train that enters the charge pump. This limits the risks of entry into resonance and limits radiation at a given frequency. The variable frequency signal is typically produced by a logic circuit and by a main oscillator whose transmission of certain pulses is masked by the combined action of different masking signals. The duty cycle ratios of the masking signals are less than that of the signal from the main oscillator. Such duty cycle ratios are preferably produced following the passage of a signal to a lower frequency than that of the signal of the main oscillator in a circuit for the detection of high transitions.
