Abstract :
An equivalent RC to model the dynamic behavior of a charge pump which takes into account the parasitic capacitances is presented. From the model, simple design equations to allow a pencil and paper design equation are developed. The model proposed was validated by means of Spice simulation and typically shows errors lower than 15%
