  • Abstract
    A double-ladder pMOS charge pump circuit is proposed in this paper. It requires two phases (and their complements), CMOS standard process, without triple well. With this configuration an output voltage of 10.88 V can be reached with capacitive load, while every device (transistors and capacitors) sustain a maximum voltage not higher than VDD. Taking parasitic capacitances into account, the proposed structure can reach a 93% voltage boosting efficiency and a 52% power efficiency.
