Abstract:
In a charge pump system using a capacitive voltage divider, or other feedback circuit requiring periodic refreshing, in order to refresh the circuit, system operations would typically need to be suspended in order to refresh the capacitors if charge leakage begins to affect the output level. This can lead to delay and power inefficiencies. To overcome this, two feedback circuits are used so that while one is active, the other can have its capacitors' state refreshed. By alternating the two networks, delay can be avoided and power use reduced.
