    A high-efficiency charge pump for ultra-low voltage boost systems

    • 针对极低压boost变换器对快速升压与高效率的需求,提出了一种适用于该场景的电荷泵结构。该电荷泵采用一对NMOS和PMOS作为电荷传输开关(Charge Transfer Switch, CTS),其栅极连接至内部节点以增强过驱动电压,并结合动态门控技术来减小反向漏电流。同时,引入双支路结构,确保在时钟切换期间CTS MOS两侧的NMOS和PMOS均关断,从而消除不希望的电荷传输。基于0.18 μm BCD工艺的仿真结果表明:相较其他电荷泵结构,本文电荷泵的升压速度提高了10.1% ~ 55.0%,最大功率效率提高了8.8% ~ 20.4%;采用该电荷泵的boost系统在0.5 V输入电压下可实现快速启动。

       

      Abstract: To meet the demands for fast voltage boosting and high efficiency in ultra-low-voltage boost converters, this paper proposes a charge pump structure specifically tailored for such applications. The proposed charge pump employs a pair of NMOS and PMOS transistors as the charge transfer switch (CTS), with their gates connected to internal nodes to enhance the overdrive voltage, while dynamic gate biasing is incorporated to suppress reverse leakage current. Furthermore, a dual-branch architecture is introduced to ensure that both the NMOS and PMOS on both sides of the CTS are turned off during clock transitions, thereby eliminating undesired charge transfer. Simulation results based on a 0.18 μm BCD process demonstrate that, compared with alternative charge pump topologies, the proposed design improves the boosting speed by 10.1%–55.0% and achieves an 8.8%–20.4% enhancement in peak power efficiency. Moreover, the boost converter system incorporating the proposed charge pump achieves rapid start-up under a 0.5 V input voltage.
