Abstract

The invention provides a charge pump circuit and an output voltage automatic adjusting method. The circuit comprises an enable signal generation circuit, a boosting module, a pump capacitor and an output capacitor. The enable signal generation circuit is used for generating an enable signal according to the variation of an output voltage and adjusting the output voltage by controlling the working state of the boosting module, and the final output voltage is controlled to fluctuate in an allowable range. The boosting module is connected with the enable signal generation circuit. The pump capacitor is used for transferring charges in the boosting module, and the output capacitor is connected with the output end of the boosting module and used for storing the charges and outputting a corresponding voltage. The method includes the following steps that the enable signal takes effects, the boosting module works, the Vbg, the Vin and the Vout generate enable signals, the Vout rises and when (Vout-Vin) is larger than the Vref1, a power tube is switched off, and the Vout declines; when the Vout declines and (Vout-Vin) is smaller than the Vref2, the boosting module works; the Vout finally fluctuates between the Vref1 and the Vref2. According to the charge pump circuit and the output voltage automatic adjusting method, low-output ripples, high-power-supply efficiency and fast-load transient response speeds are achieved, and the performance of a charge pump is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a charge pump circuit and an automatic adjustment method for its output voltage. Background technique [0002] The charge pump (ChargePump) circuit is widely used in integrated circuit systems, and is a circuit based on a single supply voltage whose output voltage is different from the supply voltage. Charge pumps are often used in memory circuits, especially flash memory or phase change memory (PhaseChangeMemory, PCM) that require a higher than normal supply voltage. [0003] Taking PCM as an example, when the PCM performs programming operations, the charge pump needs to output a voltage of 4.2V to 4.3V and a current of 100mA to melt and cool the phase change material and set it to a high-impedance state. However, with the gradual reduction of the size of the semiconductor process, the power supply voltage is also gradually decreasing. In some applications of 40nm p...
