Problems solved by technology

Charge pumps are used in some voltage conversion circuits. Usually, the clock control frequency of the charge pump is a fixed value. In order to meet the maximum load current, the clock frequency is usually designed faster, so when the load current is small, the charge pump is also It has to work at the same faster frequency, and can only rely solely on the feedback voltage of the negative feedback loop to reduce the ability of the charge pump. In this case, the ability of the charge pump to provide current is reduced, but the power consumption of the charge pump is not reduced. It causes a great waste of power consumption, so it is necessary to further improve this kind of voltage conversion circuit

Abstract

The invention discloses a voltage conversion circuit, which comprises a first-order charge pump, a negative feedback loop, an oscillator biasing circuit and an annular oscillator, wherein the first-order charge pump is used for forming an output voltage to be output from an output end, and providing the voltage for a load; the negative feedback loop is used for forming a feedback voltage to be output to an input end of the first-order charge pump; the oscillator biasing circuit is used for providing a biasing voltage for the annular oscillator; and the annular oscillator is used for outputting a clock signal under the control of the feedback voltage. The voltage conversion circuit controls the input voltage of the first-order charge pump and amplitude of the clock signal through the negative feedback loop, transmits the voltage at the input end of the first-order charge pump to the output end so as to form a stable output voltage, adjusting frequency of a clock control signal of the first-order charge pump through the annular oscillator according to load current condition, and reduces power consumption of the system under the condition of guaranteeing that the stable target voltage is output.
