  • Patent number: 10979051
    Abstract: In one aspect, an integrated circuit (IC) includes a level shifter configured to generate a first output signal and a second output signal, and to receive an input voltage, a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage; and a state reinforcement circuit configured to maintain a logical state of the second output signal in response to the first supply voltage having a voltage below ground and the input voltage is logical high. If the input voltage is logical high, then the first output signal is logical low and the second output signal is logical high; and, if the input voltage is logical low, the first output signal is logical high and the second output signal is logical low.

  • Patent number: 10483846
    Abstract: A multi-mode charge pump generates a regulated voltage at an output node from a battery input voltage. The multi-mode charge pump has a plurality of flying capacitors and a plurality of switches coupled to the flying capacitors in order to selectively couple the flying capacitors to the battery, the output node or a reference potential. The regulated voltage is provided across a storage capacitor coupled to the flying capacitors, and the regulated voltage is input to a comparator. The comparator also receives a reference voltage and compares the regulated voltage to the reference voltage to generates an asynchronous regulation signal. A controller in the multi-mode charge pump can automatically transition between operation modes such as a buck mode, a doubler mode and a tripler mode by controlling actuation of the switches in response to the asynchronous regulation signal and clock signals.
