Abstract
The auto-charge pump is a self-starting and self-sustaining circuit used to generate a floating voltage supply for the high side circuitry of half-bridge inverters. The switching output of the half-bridge replaces the dedicated pump oscillator thus simplifying the circuit. A model is derived which is then verified experimentally
