In conclusion the present invention is for the power problems in embedded flash memory application, disclosing a kind of dynamic power consumption can match The embedded flash memory control electrical appliances for electric charge pump set, has the advantage that
1., enable the dynamic power consumption of embedded flash memory controllable:
The application environment of embedded flash memory is varied, and often the demand under different application environments to performance and power consumption is not Together.When be applied in active equipment, it is higher to performance requirement;And work as and be applied in inactive component, often to dynamic power consumption It is required that higher.Be commonly designed difference, the present invention by the control to effective pump pressure clock, to single charge pump starting current into Row control meets application system according to practical application condition independently to power consumption to make charge pump dynamic power consumption dynamic controllable Control, dynamic power consumption control range when establishing to single charge pump are 12.5%~100%.
2., can according to charge pump operating status, automatically switch charge pump starting state, realize various processes/voltage/ At a temperature of charge pump self-adapting start timing:
It is influenced simultaneously by voltage, technique, temperature, signal stabilization many factors when due to charge pump startup, The starting time change of charge pump often differs greatly, and faces larger difficulty, delay time when estimating charge pump start-up study Excessively high dynamic power consumption or delay time caused by deficiency are too long and cause because of starting overlong time forming properties waste.
The self-test of charge pump output voltage in through the invention can directly sentence charge pump output result It is disconnected, at the same can adaptively charge pump settling time is different under various circumstances, minimum has been established from a charge pump voltage Finish the switching time to another charge pump startup.
3., filtered by the validity to pump pressure clock signal and reset signal, reduce charge pump in the standby state Circuit uncertainty and dynamic power consumption, and shield the improper resetting under charge pump state:
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that pump pressure clock is usually provided by application system, due to design limitation, clock source is not Certainty is very high, will cause the power consumption of charge pump in the standby state, stability inside actual influence to circuit and applies core The dynamic power consumption of piece.
By enabling input signal under charge pump standby mode more stable to pump pressure filtered clock signal, internal signal is reduced Unstable situation and bring power consumption.In charge pump start-up course, unstable, the possibility of the reset signal of input The working condition of charge pump is influenced, the present invention shields the reset operation of charge pump voltage establishment process, avoids improper heavy Set the influence operated to charge pump voltage establishment process.
Above only the embodiment of the present invention, the scope of patent protection that embodiment is not intended to limit the invention, therefore It is all to change with equivalent structure made by specification and accompanying drawing content of the invention, it similarly should be included in protection of the invention In range.
