  • Boost device for nonvolatile memories with an integrated stand-by charge pump
    Patent number: 6650569
    Abstract: The boost device comprises a charge pump circuit having an input and a main output between which an input stage, an intermediate stage and a main output stage are cascade connected. The charge pump circuit also comprises a stand-by output stage having an input node connected to an output node of said intermediate stage and an output node connected to a stand-by output of the charge pump circuit. The boost device further comprises a phase generator stage having a signal input receiving a suitable clock signal generated by a clock generator stage and output terminals generating phase signals supplied to phase inputs of the charge pump circuit.
    Type: Grant
