Abstract :
In this communication, starting from a power consumption model, an optimized strategy to design charge pumps with the minimum power consumption is presented. The approach allows one to define the number of stages that for a given input and output voltage maximizes the power efficiency. Capacitor value is then set to provide the required current capability. The approach was analytically developed and was validated through simulations on 0.35 μm EEPROM technology
