FIG. 6 is a diagram of the power supply current waveforms during four-phase non-overlapping clock and voltage transitions in accordance with the present invention. In the present invention, since fig. 4 is a symmetrical circuit, the operation principle of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 4 and 6, taking only the upper half as an example:
after power-on, the nodes A, vn1 and Vp1 are precharged to Vin-Vthn, and the source and gate short circuit of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is equivalent to a diode, so that the node Vp1 precharge voltage is also Vin-Vthn, vthn is the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistors MN1/MN3/MN5, assuming that the threshold values of the NMOS transistors MN1-MN6 are all Vthn and the threshold values of the PMOS transistors MP1-MP2 are Vthp, and assuming that the voltages of the high levels "1" of all clocks are Vh.
When clk is at low level "0", when clk1 changes from "0" to "1", since the voltage of the first auxiliary capacitor Ca1 cannot suddenly change, the voltage of the node vn1, i.e. the gate voltage of the first NMOS transistor MN1, is raised to Vh + (Vin-Vthn), so that the first NMOS transistor MN1 is turned on, the first capacitor C1 is charged, the voltage of the node a, i.e. the gate voltage of the third NMOS transistor MN3, is precharged to Vin-Vthn, the third NMOS transistor MN3 is turned off, and the voltage of the node vn1 is further stabilized, when clk2b jumps from "0" to "1", since the voltage of the third auxiliary capacitor Cb1 cannot suddenly change, the voltage of the node Vp1 is raised to Vh + (Vin-Vthn), the first PMOS transistor MP1 is turned off, and further charge loss of the node a is prevented; when clk1 goes low to "0", node vn1 will drop to Vin-Vthn, the first NMOS transistor MN1 is turned off, and then clk goes from "0" to "1", since the voltage of the first capacitor C1 cannot change suddenly, the gate voltage of node a, i.e. the third NMOS transistor MN3, is raised to Vh + (Vin-Vthn), so that the third NMOS transistor MN3 is turned on, the voltage of node vn1 is stabilized at Vin-Vthn, and at the same time clk2b jumps to "0" which the voltage of node Vp1 drops, the first PMOS transistor MP1 is turned on, and the charge of node a moves to the load RL/CL through the first PMOS transistor MP1, i.e. the first capacitor C1 discharges.
The lower half of the clock is in phase opposition to the upper half, i.e., clk is in phase opposition to clkb, clk2 is in phase opposition to clk1, and clk1b is in phase opposition to clk2b. When clk changes from "0" to "1", the first capacitor C1 of the upper half circuit discharges to the load RL/CL, and because of the opposite phase, the lower half circuit charges to the second capacitor C2; when clkb changes from "0" to "1", the second capacitor C2 of the lower half circuit discharges to the load RL/CL, and because of the opposite phase, the first capacitor C1 is charged by the upper half circuit.
Because the clocks clk and clk1 and clkb and clk2 do not have high level overlap, the high levels "1" of the clocks clk2b and clk1b which are responsible for closing the discharging path are wider, so that short circuit is avoided, and the efficiency of the charge pump is effectively improved.
The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and utilities of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Modifications and variations can be made to the above-described embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be as set forth in the claims.
