Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One example refers to a circuitry comprising a first charge pump stage controlled by a first control signal, a second charge pump stage controlled by a second control signal, wherein the first charge pump stage and the second charge pump stage are arranged subsequently to each other and comprising a control unit for providing the first control signal and the second control signal, wherein the control unit is arranged to set the second control signal to high when the first control signal is high. Also, a multi-branch charge pump, a method for controlling various charge pumps and a system for controlling various charge pumps are suggested.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Circuitry comprising: a first charge pump stage controlled by a first control signal; a second charge pump stage controlled by a second control signal, wherein the second charge pump stage is arranged subsequent to the first charge pump stage; and a control unit for providing the first control signal and the second control signal, wherein the control unit is configured to limit a voltage drop across the first charge pump stage by setting the secon…
