  • Method and system for controlling a charge pump
    Patent number: 9071236
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for controlling a charge pump and a control device for a charge pump are described. In one embodiment, a method for controlling a charge pump involves monitoring a power-on status of the charge pump, calculating a duty cycle of the charge pump within a time period based on the power-on status of the charge pump, and adjusting at least one of a clock frequency setting and a capacitance setting of the charge pump in based on the duty cycle of the charge pump. Other embodiments are also described.
