Abstract:
An apparatus and a method that provide a bias voltage to a charge pump circuit are described. An example apparatus includes: a bias voltage generator that receives a first voltage and provides a second voltage responsive to the first voltage; a charge pump circuit that receives an input signal and provides the first voltage. The charge pump circuit includes an inverter and a bias transistor. The inverter receives the input signal and provides a third voltage. The bias transistor coupled between a power node having a power supply voltage and a slew rate driver of the inverter. The bias transistor receives the second voltage and provides a power supply voltage to the slew rate driver responsive to the second voltage less than a threshold voltage and stops providing the power supply voltage to the slew rate driver responsive to the second voltage greater than the threshold voltage.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the charge pump circuit further includes:\n a first switch coupled between the second node and the power node, and configured to couple the power node to the second node responsive to the fifth voltage at the second node; and a second switch configured to provide the fifth voltage as the first voltage responsive to the fifth voltage.
