摘要: An integrated circuit includes a non-volatile memory, a charge pump that generates high voltages for programming operations of the non-volatile memory array, and a charge pump regulator that controls a slew rate of the charge pump. The charge pump regulator generates a sense current indicative of the slew rate and adjusts a frequency of a clock signal provided to the charge pump based on the sense current.

摘要: A voltage doubler circuit supports operation in both a positive voltage boosting mode to positively boost voltage from a first node to a second node and a negative voltage boosting mode to negatively boost voltage from the second node to the first node. The voltage doubler circuit is formed by transistors of a same conductivity type that share a common bulk that is not tied to a source of any of the voltage doubler circuit transistors. A bias generator circuit is coupled to receive a first voltage from the first node and second voltage from the second node. The bias generator circuit operates to apply a lower one of the first and second voltages to the common bulk.

摘要: A voltage multiplier circuit operates in response to a received clock signal to perform a voltage multiplication operation on an input voltage to generate an output voltage. The voltage multiplier circuit includes a pair of intermediate nodes that are capacitively coupled to receive, respectively, opposite phases of a clock signal. A first CMOS driver circuit is coupled to one of the intermediate nodes and has an output configured to generate one phase of a level shifted output clock signal. A second CMOS driver circuit is coupled to another one of the intermediate nodes and has an output configured to generate another phase of the level shifted output clock signal.

摘要: A charge pump circuit generates a charge pump output signal at a first node and is enabled by a charge pump control signal. A diode has first and second terminals coupled to first and second nodes. A comparator has an inverting input coupled to the second node and a non-inverting input coupled to a third node, and causes generation of the charge pump control signal. A first current mirror produces a first current at the second node, and a second current mirror produces a second current (equal in magnitude to the first current) at the third node. The first terminal and second terminals may be a cathode and an anode. The first current mirror may be a current sink sinking a first current from the second node. The second current mirror may be current source sourcing a second current (equal in magnitude to the first current) to the third node.

摘要: A voltage level shifter is provided. The voltage level shifter includes an input stage and at least one level shifting stage. The input stage receives an input voltage and a complementary input voltage and receives a first supply voltage and a ground voltage. The input stage outputs one of the first supply voltage and the ground voltage over a first output voltage node and a first complementary output voltage node based on the input voltage and the complementary input voltage. A level shifting stage is coupled to the input stage. The level shifting stage receives the first supply voltage and a second supply voltage and outputs one of the ground voltage, the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage over second and third output voltage nodes and second and third complementary output voltage nodes based on voltages of the first output voltage node and the first complementary output voltage node.

摘要: A memory array includes rows and columns with memory cell portion and a dummy cell portion. Bit lines are connected to the memory cells and to the dummy cell portion. The dummy cell portion includes a first row of dummy cells and a second row of dummy cells. The dummy cells in the first row have a first connection to a corresponding bit line of a first bit line group of the bit lines and a second connection to a first source line. The dummy cells in the second row have a first connection to a corresponding bit line of a second bit line group of the plurality of bit lines and a second connection to a second source line. The dummy cells are selectively actuated to couple voltages at the first and second source lines to the first and second bit line groups, respectively, depending on memory operating mode.

摘要: A level shifting circuit operates at a high voltage level without stressing the transistors. The circuit has the ability to swing between large supply domains. Multiple output voltage levels are supported for the level shifted signal. Additionally, output nodes are stably driven to supply voltage levels that do not vary with respect to process corner and temperature.
