Background technology
In the information age, information storage is one of most important technology contents in infotech.The storeies such as DRAM, EEPROM, flash memory obtain applying more and more widely.
Based on low-power consumption, requirement cheaply, the supply voltage VDD of storer is conventionally lower, such as 2.5V, 1.8V etc., but in order to realize information " writing " and " wiping ", conventionally need to such as, far above the program voltage of supply voltage VDD and erasing voltage, 8V, 11V etc.Therefore, charge pump system is widely used in storer, obtains higher program voltage and erasing voltage for the supply voltage VDD by lower.
With reference to figure 1, show a kind of schematic diagram of charge pump unit, described charge pump unit comprises two voltage-boosting stages, wherein, first voltage-boosting stage comprises: the first K switch 1 that transfer clock drives, the first capacitor C 1 that is connected in described the first K switch 1 form, the other end of described the first capacitor C 1 is driven by the clock that charges, the lifting voltage V that charging clock high level voltage is charge pump system.When charge pump system work, in the time that charging clock is low level, power supply Vin charges to the first capacitor C 1 by the first K switch 1, after charging finishes, the top crown voltage of the first capacitor C 1 is Vin, and in the time that charging clock is high level, the bottom crown voltage of the first capacitor C 1 is V, because electric capacity has the character that the two poles of the earth voltage difference can not be suddenlyd change, now the top crown voltage jump of the first capacitor C 1 is V+Vin.Afterwards, the first capacitor C 1 is charged to the second capacitor C 2 by second switch K2 again ..., like this, electric charge has just passed to the right from the left side.Like this, along with the increase of charge pump progression, electric charge just continuously from power source transition to output terminal, thereby obtain having the output voltage V out of high-voltage value.
Fig. 2 has shown charge pump system schematic diagram in one embodiment in prior art.As shown in Figure 2, in prior art, described charge pump system comprises clock oscillation unit 10, clock converting unit 12, clock drive unit 14 and charge pump unit 16, wherein, clock oscillation unit 10, is controlled by supply voltage VDD, for generation of initial clock signal clk; Clock converting unit 12, controlled by supply voltage VDD, carry out overlapping shaping for the clock signal that clock oscillation unit 10 is produced, output charging clock signal (CLK1_L, and transmit clock signal (CLK2_L, CLK4_L) CLK3_L); Clock drive unit 14, controlled by supply voltage VDD, for the clock signal (CLK1_L that charges in receive clock converting unit 12 with exporting, and transmit clock signal (CLK2_L CLK3_L), CLK4_L) after, carry out signal and strengthen processing, output charging clock signal (CLK1, CLK3) and transmit clock signal (CLK2, CLK4) are to charge pump unit 16.Wherein, through the clock converting unit 12 clock signal (CLK1_L that charges with exporting, and transmit clock signal (CLK2_L CLK3_L), CLK4_L) marking current is lower, and the charging clock signal (CLK1 exporting after clock drive unit 14 is processed, CLK3) and the electric current of transmit clock signal (CLK2, CLK4) higher.In the above-described embodiments, due to the magnitude of voltage lower (1.08V to 1.98V) of the supply voltage VDD for controlling clock drive unit 14, provide the ability of charging charge and transmission charge just on the weak side, comparatively speaking, charge efficiency and transfer efficiency are also just lower.In addition, because clock drive unit 14 is for driving two class clock signals (first kind clock signal and Second Type clock signal), cause power consumption larger, therefore needing provides larger electric current to clock drive unit 14, but existing supply voltage VDD cannot meet the demands.

With reference to figure 5, it shows middle second clock driver element 342 shown in Fig. 4 at the circuit diagram of an embodiment.Described second clock driver element 342 comprises driving voltage converting unit, in the present embodiment, the quantity of described driving voltage converting unit is two, for being applicable to respectively two transmit clock signals, a driving voltage converting unit is used for receiving transmit clock signal CLK2_L, after signal strengthens processing, output transmit clock signal CLK2, another driving voltage converting unit is used for receiving transmit clock signal CLK4_L, after signal strengthens processing, output transmit clock signal CLK4.Described in each, driving voltage converting unit more comprises: the first phase inverter 343, electric capacity 344, the second phase inverter and PMOS pipe 345.
Particularly, the first phase inverter 343 receives described the first supply voltage VDDQ, the input end of the first phase inverter 343 is connected with the input end of the second phase inverter, for the signal input part of the transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L that produces as receive clock converting unit 32; The output terminal of the first phase inverter 343 is connected with the first electrode of electric capacity 344; The second electrode of electric capacity 344 is connected with the drain electrode of the voltage input end of described the second phase inverter, a PMOS pipe 345; The output terminal of described the second phase inverter is connected with the grid of a PMOS pipe 345, for the signal output part as output transmit clock signal CLK2/CLK4; The source electrode of a described PMOS pipe receives described second source voltage VDDQ_R.
In the present embodiment, described the second phase inverter comprises the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 and NMOS pipe 347, the grid of the grid of the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 and NMOS pipe 347 is connected in the input end of described the first phase inverter jointly, for the signal input part as described the second phase inverter; The source electrode of the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 is connected with the drain electrode of a PMOS pipe 345; The source electrode of the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 is for the voltage input end as described the second phase inverter; The drain electrode of the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 is connected with the source electrode of NMOS pipe 347; The grounded drain power supply VSS of NMOS pipe 347.
When second clock driver element 342 is worked, the transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L that the signal input part receive clock converting unit 32 of second clock driver element 342 produces, in the time that transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L is high level, the output end voltage of the first phase inverter 343 is low level, and the first electrode voltage V1 of electric capacity is low level; In addition, in the time that transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L is high level, NMOS manages 347 conductings, the 2nd PMOS pipe 346 cut-offs, the signal output part of second clock driver element 342 is low level, described low level transfers to the grid of a PMOS pipe 345, a PMOS manages 345 conductings, be second source voltage VDDQ_R because a PMOS manages 345 source voltages, electric capacity 344 second electrode voltage V2 are VDDQ_R, and therefore the voltage at electric capacity 344 two ends is VDDQ_R.
In the time that transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L is low level, the output end voltage of the first phase inverter 343 is the first supply voltage VDDQ of voltage input end, the first electrode voltage V1 of electric capacity is VDDQ, because the voltage at electric capacity two ends can not suddenly change, the second electrode voltage V2 is VDDQ+VDDQ_R; In addition, in the time that transmit clock signal CLK2_L/CLK4_L is low level, 347 cut-offs of NMOS pipe, the 2nd PMOS manages 346 conductings, the signal output part of second clock driver element 342 is exported the second electrode voltage V2 (being VDDQ+VDDQ_R), described high level transfers to the grid of a PMOS pipe 345, PMOS pipe 345 cut-offs.Like this, second clock driver element 342 just can obtain the supply voltage of high value, acquisition has the transmit clock signal CLK2/CLK4 of the high level voltage of high value, can overcome in charge pump unit 4 body bias effect as the nmos pass transistor of switch, improves the transfer efficiency of electric charge.
