  • Charge pump with wide current range
    Patent number: 11545984
    Abstract: A charge pump has a first branch that includes a first node connected between a first pull-up switch and a first pull-down switch and a second branch that includes a second node connected between a second pull-up switch and a second pull-down switch. The second branch is connected in parallel with the first branch. The charge pump has a voltage equalization circuit to equalize a first voltage at the first node and a second voltage at the second node. A third branch includes a third node that is connected between a third pull-up switch and a third pull-down switch. The third node is connected to the second node. The third pull-up switch and the first pull-up switch are controlled by a common pull-up signal. The third pull-down switch and the first pull-down switch are controlled by a common pull-down signal.
