[0024] The detailed working process of this invention is as follows:

[0025] The micro-current source bias circuit generates a bias current I1 under the action of power supply VDD. The bias current I1 is replicated to the drain of NMOS transistor MN2 via a current mirror circuit composed of NMOS transistors MN1 and MN2. Then, it is mirrored to the drain of PMOS transistor MP2 via a current mirror structure composed of PMOS transistors MP1 and MP2. Finally, the bias current I1 is replicated to the drains of NMOS transistors MN4 and MN5 via a current mirror circuit composed of NMOS transistors MN3, MN4, and MN5. At this time, the output voltage Vout of the charge pump circuit has not yet been established. The NMOS transistors MN4 and MN5, capacitor C1, and capacitor C2 provide the initialization state for the startup of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit. Figure 2 The combined action of the third output Y1N, fifth output Y0N, and fourth output Y2 of the logic control circuit shown causes the inverter power supply circuit composed of PMOS transistors MP8 and MP9, capacitor C5, and capacitor C6 to operate, generating V. DD_INV Size:

[0026]

[0027] Where C S1 This is the total equivalent capacitance from the drain terminals of PMOS transistors MP8 and MP9 to the common ground.

[0028] When the first output Y0 of the logic control circuit is high, capacitor C1 begins to discharge, the output of inverter INV1 is low, and capacitor C2 begins to charge. Ultimately, the maximum charging voltage of capacitor C2 is limited to Vout - |V GSP3 |-V SD5 Between ranges; where V GSP3 V is the gate-source voltage of the PMOS transistor MP3. SD5 This is the source-drain voltage of PMOS transistor MP5. When the first output Y0 of the logic control circuit is low, a current path is formed through PMOS transistors MP3 and MP4 to start charging capacitor C1. The final voltage of capacitor C1 is limited to approximately VDD-2|V. GSP4 The output voltage of inverter INV1 is V. DD_INV V GSP4 This is the gate-source voltage of the PMOS transistor MP4; due to the characteristic that the charge on capacitor C2 cannot change instantaneously, the voltage across capacitor C2 becomes Vout - |V GSP3 |-V SD5 +V DD_INV ;

[0029] Similarly, when the second output Y1N of the logic control circuit is high, capacitor C3 and NMOS transistor MN5 form a discharge path. When the output voltage of inverter INV2 is low, capacitor C4 begins to charge through NPN transistor Q1 and PMOS transistor MP7. Ultimately, the maximum charging voltage of capacitor C4 is limited to Vout-V. BE1 -V SD7 Within the range, where V BE1 V is the voltage between the base and emitter of the NPN transistor Q1. SD7 The source-drain voltage of PMOS transistor MP7; when the second output Y1N of the logic control circuit is low, capacitor C3 is charged through NPN transistor Q1 and PMOS transistor MP6, ultimately limiting the maximum charging voltage of capacitor C3 to Vout-V. BE1 -|V GS6 | Within the range, where V GS6 This is the gate-source voltage of the PMOS transistor MP6; at this time, the output voltage of the inverter INV2 is at a high level V. DD_INV Because the charge on capacitor C4 cannot change instantaneously, the voltage across capacitor C4 becomes Vout - V. BE1 -V SD7 +V DD_INV ;

[0030] After the control signal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit is established, the charge pump circuit starts to work. When the sixth output Y2N of the logic control circuit is low, the output voltage of inverter INV1 is low, and the output voltage of inverter INV2 is high, PMOS transistor MP10 is turned on and PMOS transistor MP11 is turned off, starting to charge capacitor C7 at VDD. When the sixth output Y2N of the logic control circuit is high, the fourth output Y2 is low, the output voltage of inverter INV1 is high, and the output voltage of inverter INV2 is low, PMOS transistor MP10 is turned off and PMOS transistor MP11 is turned on. At this time, due to the characteristic that the charge of capacitor C8 cannot change instantaneously, as... Figure 1 As shown, the voltage V at node A A Increase to:

[0031]

[0032] Where C S2 To see all the equivalent capacitances between common grounds from node A; charge begins to transfer from capacitor C8 to capacitor C9, eventually causing the voltage at node B to rise to V. B =V A When the fourth output Y2 of the logic control circuit goes high and the sixth output Y2N goes low, the gate voltage bootstrap circuit simultaneously generates a control signal to turn on the PMOS transistor MP12. The charge on capacitor C9 begins to transfer to capacitor C10, ultimately resulting in a voltage at node C of V. C =V DD +V B Similarly, when the sixth output Y2N of the logic control circuit goes high again, the gate voltage bootstrap circuit generates a control signal that turns on PMOS transistor MP13 and turns off PMOS transistor MP12. The charge on capacitor C10 begins to transfer to capacitor C11, ultimately resulting in the output node Vout voltage being:

[0033]

[0034] The output voltage Vout of the charge pump circuit is fed back to the source of the PMOS transistor MP3 and the collector of the NPN BJT transistor Q1 in the gate voltage bootstrap circuit. When the bias current I1 in the micro-current source bias circuit is too large, the current drawn from the charge pump circuit is too large, causing the charge pump circuit to be unable to output a high voltage. Therefore, the micro-current source bias circuit is suitable for biasing to work under micro-current conditions so that the charge pump circuit outputs a high voltage, thereby achieving the purpose of a low-power gate voltage bootstrap charge pump.
