Generation of voltages

摘要

Voltage generation circuits are useful in the generation of internal voltages for use in integrated circuits. Voltage generation circuits may include a stage capacitance and a voltage isolation device connected to the stage capacitance. The voltage isolation device may include a first current path between an input and an output of the voltage isolation device through a diode, and a second current path between the input and the output of the voltage isolation device through a gate. The gate is responsive to the contribution of a low-pass filter between the output of the voltage isolation device and the gate, and to the contribution of a high-pass filter between a clock signal node and the gate.
