Ultra low energy and area efficient charge pump with automatic clock controller in 65 nm CMOS
A low power CMOS charge pump (CP) is proposed utilizing a new combination of charge transferring switches for a faster start-up, higher efficiency and lower reverse charge sharing. A low cost feedback mechanism observes the output voltage level and automatically switches off the clock after passing a threshold, which reduces energy dissipation by 62%. It is shown that by using one capacitor per st
