A method and apparatus for self initialization for charge pumps. The method of one embodiment comprises generating a pumped voltage at an output of the circuit. The pumped voltage is sent to a first switch. A determination is made as to whether the circuit is in a first power state. The first switch is activated to couple the pumped voltage to an initialization mechanism if the circuit is in said first power state. An internal pump node in the circuit is initialized to a first voltage potential. The first switch is deactivated to decouple the pumped voltage from the initialization mechanism after the internal pump node is charged to desired level.
