Abstract

See full text

An improved AC-to-DC charge pump for use, for example, in voltage generation circuits. In one embodiment, two 2-diode charge pumps are coupled in back-to-back configuration, and adapted to develop a substantially stable voltage on a mid-level rail. In one other embodiment, two 3-diode charge pumps are coupled in back-to-back configuration, and adapted also to develop a substantially stable voltage on a mid-level rail. In one preferred embodiment, all diodes are implemented as current-source-biased MOSFETs.
