The present invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits, and particularly relates to an energy-efficient
charge pump circuit and its control method. Among them, the energy-efficient
charge pump circuit includes: a first
transistor, whose gate is connected to a second
control signal and whose source is connected to a power supply potential; a second
transistor, whose gate is connected to a first
control signal; a first
capacitor, whose upper plate is connected to the drain of the first
transistor and the source of the second transistor, and whose lower plate is connected to a ground potential; a third transistor, whose gate is connected to the second
control signal; a second
capacitor, whose upper plate is connected to the drain of the second transistor and the drain of the third transistor and serves as an output terminal, and whose lower plate is connected to the ground potential; a fourth transistor, whose gate is connected to the first control
signal and whose source is connected to the ground potential; a third
capacitor, whose upper plate is connected to the source of the third transistor and the drain of the fourth transistor, and whose lower plate is connected to the ground potential. In the present invention, the overdrive voltages of the second transistor and the third transistor are both reduced, greatly improving the energy efficiency of the
charge pump circuit.
