See Fig. 2, shown in Fig. 3, the charge pump circuit of a kind of digital control rise time and slope, it comprises charge pump I1, the input of charge pump I1 connects the output of input clock CLK and comparator I2, electric charge delivery side of pump is High voltage output VPP, it also comprises digital control circuit module, resistance R2, variable resistor R1_i, the input of digital control module connects input clock CLK, the output of digital control module controls the switching over of variable resistor R1_i, resistance R2 one end connects the output of charge pump I1, ground connection after resistance R2 other end connection variable resistor R1_i, an input of comparator I2 connects reference voltage VREF, another input connects variable resistor R1_i, variable resistor R1_i is by 2 nindividual resistance and 2 n-1 control switch composition, i=1 ~ 2 n, digital control module comprises state machine, state machine linkage counter, codec, output switch controller, counter connects input clock CLK, and output switch controller connects variable resistor R1_i, counter carries out timing to input clock CLK, produces the time delay of each switching state, codec, according to state machine output encoder and decoding, through the driving of output switch controller, controls the switching of the control switch in variable resistor R1_i.
Operation principle is as described below: charge pump I1 produces circuit and produces positive high voltage or negative high voltage output VPP by the Pump effect of input clock CLK in inside, without loss of generality, we illustrate operation principle with barotropic condition, namely only needing under negative pressure condition takes absolute value voltage is applicable to the principle of malleation, the high pressure that charge pump I1 produces compares through the dividing potential drop of resistance R2 and variable resistor R1_i and reference voltage VREF, if dividing point voltage is greater than reference voltage VREF, illustrate that charge pump I1 reaches target, comparator I2 exports and is closed by charge pump I1; When dividing point voltage is less than reference voltage VREF, charge pump I1 will start, and constantly increase High voltage output VPP and dividing point voltage is raised until dividing point voltage is greater than reference voltage VREF.Therefore circuit will be stabilized in VPP=VREF*(1+ R2/R1_i by negative feedback) on.
The divider resistance that resistance R2 and resistance-variable resistance R1_i forms is adjusted by digital control module classification, and during startup, divider resistance voltage ratio is less, and charge pump I1 exports target voltage and is set as lower thus; Time with digital control module internal control increases, and progressively raises divider resistance voltage ratio, and charge pump I1 exports target voltage progressively to be increased thereupon; Through the progression that can set, final charge pump exports and reaches ceiling voltage.Detailed process is adding of digital control module uphill process is changed into: first control closed control switch bottom under initial state, all the other control switchs are opened, the effective resistance of voltage ratio of R1_i is maximum is designated as R1_1, dividing potential drop is smaller, and the magnitude of voltage after charge pump I1 negative feedback reaches lower set point.Afterwards, digital control module, after the delay that can set, controls closed lower end second control switch, all the other control switchs are opened, the effective resistance of voltage ratio of variable resistor R1_i is reduced to R1_2, and voltage ratio raises, and the magnitude of voltage after charge pump I1 negative feedback reaches the set point after rising; By that analogy, by digital control module successively up Closed control switch one by one, the resistance of variable resistor R1_i is set by digital control module and constantly reduces R1_3, R1_4 ... until R1_2 n, voltage ratio continues to increase, and the magnitude of voltage after charge pump I1 negative feedback constantly increases, and achieves the control of rise time and slope.Utilize the control of digital control module realization to the charge pump I1 rise time, the time can set at Microsecond grade wide region, is determined by digital control module internal delay time.Digital control module adopts N bit to control, and can realize 2 nthe control of dimension accuracy.Utilize the control of digital control module realization to the charge pump I1 rate of rise, slope can set at volt piece Microsecond grade wide region, by dividing potential drop progression, dividing ratios, and digital circuit internal delay time determines, method is applicable to embedded or independent (Standalone) all kinds of nonvolatile storage, comprise Flash, EEPROM, MTP, OTP etc.
