摘要:
The regulation of the output voltage of a voltage multiplier driven by a ring oscillator, an inverter of which is substituted by a NOR gate for providing a terminal through which stopping the oscillation, is effected by controlling the oscillation frequency in function of the current delivered by the voltage multiplier by means of a transistor T1 working as a current generator connected in series with a regulating chain of series-connected diodes by biasing the gate of the transistor with a constant voltage Vref, thus imposing a reference current Iref through the transistor. The voltage signal across the transistor is fed to the input of a first inverter with a preset triggering threshold and the output signal of the inverter is fed through an amplifying and phase-regenerating stage to said terminal for stopping the oscillation of said NOR gate of the ring oscillator. When the discharge current through the regulating chain becomes greater than the imposed current Iref, across the transistor T1 a voltage signal develops which, beyond a certain threshold, determines the switching of the inverter and, through the amplifying and phase-regenerating stage, causes a stop of the oscillation which resumes only when conduction through the regulating chain stops. At steady state the oscillation frequency will result controlled so as to maintain constant the output voltage of the voltage multiplier and to limit the discharge current through the regulating chain thus limiting power consumption.
