This report proposes L1L5-type 2-step charge pump circuit that is suitable for boosting efficiently the subthreshold input voltage obtained by on-chip solar cell to high voltage around 4V. Conventional cross-coupled charge pump needs 10 stages to obtain 4V output even if 40 pF capacitors are allowed, and its 800 pF capacitance in total occupies large amount of chip area, which poses difficulty in implementing it on the same chip with solar cells. The proposed circuit consists of the first-step charge pump that boosts the subthreshold-level input voltage to superthreshold-level and the second-step charge pump that generates even higher voltage using the clock of superthreshold-level voltage swing. Under the constraints of 100 pF total capacitance, we compared the power efficiency of our circuit with the conventional cross-coupled charge pump using circuit simulation with 0.18$mu$m CMOS technology model, and observed that the proposed circuit achieves 46.4% power efficiency at 4V output voltage, which is 5.2% higher than the conventional cross-coupled charge pump. |
