  • Patent number: 9455039
    Abstract: A charge pump system includes a plurality of pump units, a control circuit, and a detection circuit. The plurality of pump units are used for generating a pump output voltage. The control circuit is coupled to the plurality of pump units and is used for controlling each pump unit of the plurality of pump units. The detection circuit is coupled to the control circuit and the plurality of pump units and is used for detecting the pump output voltage. When the pump output voltage is greater than a predetermined value, the detection circuit generates and latches a control signal to enable the control circuit. After the control circuit is enabled, when the pump output voltage is detected to be smaller than the predetermined value, the detection circuit generates a first pump enable signal to the control circuit for enabling a first pump unit of the plurality of pump units.

  • Patent number: 7443230
    Abstract: A charge pump circuit including a plurality of controlled charge pumps (CPs), a plurality of uncontrolled CPs, a plurality of control units, and an output unit is provided. Each controlled CP determines whether to provide charges to a node by a control signal, and each uncontrolled CP constantly provides charges to the node. The higher the node voltage at the node is, the more the controlled CPs not providing charge to the node are, so as to suppress the voltage of the node. In addition, the output unit regulates and outputs an output voltage according to the node voltage by the negative feedback.

  • Patent number: 7382661
    Abstract: A program method for a flash memory semiconductor device includes the steps of providing a bit line voltage for programming a group of memory cells and detecting if the bit line voltage meets a selected target voltage. When the bit line voltage meets the selected target voltage, a program operation is performed on the group of memory cells. When the bit line voltage does not meet the selected target voltage, the programming operation is individually performed on at least a first subgroup of memory cells from the group and a second subgroup of memory cells from the group.
