Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of charge pump that is used for non-volatile memory circuit.
Background technology
Need to design the high pressure of built-in charge pump generation in EEPROM and the Flash eeprom circuit, be used to take place F-N or avalanche effect greater than 10V.For the quality requirements (10 year retention time, 100K erasing and writing life) that guarantees EEPROM need accurately be controlled the value of boosting of charge pump.
The charge pump output voltage control method has two kinds in the prior art, and the one, utilize diode reverse breakdown voltage control, the 2nd, utilize reference source multiplication of voltage FEEDBACK CONTROL.The former circuit structure is simple, but because breakdown reverse voltage has positive temperature coefficient, causes voltage to vary with temperature greatly when charge pump is operated in wide temperature range, thereby influenced the Control of Voltage precision.The The latter reference source circuit, control accuracy is better, but circuit area is increased.Adopt simple backward dioded to puncture the charge pump of form owing to there is not feedback arrangement in addition, power consumption is uncontrolled, and with supply voltage, variation of temperature is big, can not satisfy the requirement of low consumption circuit.
Summary of the invention
The technical matters that the present invention solves provides a kind of charge pump that is used for non-volatile memory circuit, can effectively reduce the temperature coefficient and the power consumption of charge pump, and the chip area of Charge Pump is dwindled, and reduces cost.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention is used for the charge pump of non-volatile memory circuit, is serially connected in the electric charge delivery side of pump with a forward diode, backward dioded and after a MOS transistor is connected.Utilize the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of diode reverse breakdown voltage, carry out temperature compensation in conjunction with the negative temperature coefficient of diode forward forward voltage and MOS transistor cut-in voltage.
Described MOS transistor compares by mirror-image structure and reference current source electric current, and relatively output voltage is used to control the operating voltage of charge pump.Utilize this negative feedback structure restriction breakdown current, thus the control power consumption.
The present invention can make the chip area of Charge Pump dwindle 50%, effectively reduces cost.
Description of drawings
Accompanying drawing is the charge pump construction figure that is used for non-volatile memory circuit.
Embodiment
As shown in the figure, the present invention is used for the charge pump of non-volatile memory circuit, comprise diode D1, D2, common MOS transistor MN1, described backward dioded D1, forward diode D2 be serially connected between electric charge delivery side of pump MOS transistor MN4 and the ground wire after MOS transistor MN1 connects.
At the big shortcoming of reverse breakdown temperature coefficient, the present invention adopts backward dioded D1, the series connection form of forward diode D2 and common MOS transistor MN1, the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) (diode D1:P diffusion layer → N trap) of utilizing diode D1 breakdown reverse voltage VB is carried out temperature compensation in conjunction with the negative temperature coefficient of diode D2 forward conduction voltage VF (diode D2:P diffusion layer → N trap) and MOS transistor MN1 cut-in voltage VT (N-channel MN1).Less and following approximation relation arranged when only considering the single order temperature coefficient at working current:
Vpp＝VD+VF+VT (1)
Actual design result, the single order temperature coefficient reaches the level of 100ppm.Thereby solved charge pump output voltage and varied with temperature big problem.Simultaneously owing to adopted the diode structure circuit area less, thereby reduced production cost.
Described MOS transistor MN1 compares by mirror-image structure and reference current source electric current by MOS transistor MP1, and relatively output voltage is used to control the operating voltage of charge pump.
At the bigger shortcoming of reverse breakdown formal charge pump circuit power consumption, the present invention adopts the mode of Current Feedback Control effectively to control power consumption.When the backward dioded D1 in the series circuit is not breakdown, no current flows through among the MOS transistor MN1, compare with the reference current by MOS transistor MP1, output voltage makes fully conducting of MOS transistor MN3 (Native NMOS), thereby the charge pump operating voltage is for the highest.D1 is reversed puncture along with diode, MOS transistor MN1 electric current progressively increases, mirror image MOS transistor MN2 and reference current source MOS transistor MP1 current ratio result weaken the conducting of MOS transistor MN3 pipe, the charge pump operating voltage is constantly reduced, reach setting value until MOS transistor MN1 tube current, charge pump enters steady state (SS), this moment MOS transistor MN1, MN2 electric current and charge pump operating voltage reach stationary value.Because the electric current that MOS transistor MN1 pipe flows through can be set at several uA by reference current source, so the power consumption of charge pump can be controlled lessly.Because the current source precision prescribed is relatively low, its chip area can be saved.If use the oscillatory circuit of current source form to provide clock as charge pump simultaneously, current source can be shared.
