Problems solved by technology

Every time the output voltage is detected, the current will be drawn from the output voltage terminal. If the output voltage is detected frequently, it will cause a lot of waste of power consumption. However, if the output voltage is detected every long time, the output voltage will be low. Will deviate greatly from the target voltage, making the output voltage very unstable

Abstract

The invention discloses a charge pump circuit. The charge pump circuit comprises the following components that: an output voltage monitoring module used for monitoring the output voltage of a charge pump in real time and adjusting the reference voltage of a pulse generator; the pulse generator which is used for generating pulse signals which change with the reference voltage in a directly proportional manner to a voltage detection module; the voltage detection module used for detecting the output voltage of the charge pump under the control of the pulse signals and outputting enabling signals to a charge pump module to start the charge pump, so that the charge pump can begin to work; the charge pump module which outputs target voltage under the control of the enabling signals; and a refresh frequency control switch which is used for setting the reference voltage of the pulse generator as initial reference voltage when refresh is carried out every time. According to the charge pump circuit provided by the embodiment of the invention, the pulse frequency of the pulse generator is adjusted according to output voltage monitoring results, so that refresh self adjustment can be performed on the detection frequency of the voltage detection module, and therefore, the waste of power dissipation can be reduced to the largest extent with the stability of the output voltage ensured.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of circuits, and in particular to a charge pump circuit. Background technique [0002] As the basic module of Flash memory, charge pump circuit largely determines the programming / erasing speed of Flash. With the continuous development of integrated circuits, based on the consideration of low power consumption and low cost, charge pump circuits are more and more widely used in integrated circuits. [0003] The basic working principle of the charge pump is to raise the output voltage of the charge pump through the accumulation effect of the capacitor on the charge. Due to the leakage current, the charge pump needs a detection circuit to detect the output voltage. When the output voltage is lower than the target voltage, the charge pump starts to work to raise the output voltage to the target voltage. Each pair of output voltage detection will draw current from the output voltage terminal. ...
