Abstract:
Methods of operating a voltage generation circuit include applying a clock signal to an input of a voltage driver of a stage of the voltage generation circuit, connecting the output of the voltage driver to a first voltage node configured to receive a first voltage when the clock signal has a particular logic level and a voltage level of an output of the voltage driver is less than a threshold, connecting the output of the voltage driver to a second voltage node configured to receive a second voltage, greater than the first voltage, when the clock signal has the particular logic level and the voltage level of the output of the voltage driver is greater than the threshold, and connecting the output of the voltage driver to a third voltage node configured to receive a third voltage, less than the first voltage, when the clock signal has a different logic level.
