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 20):
The method of  claim 19 , further includes:\n reducing the current to the first slew rate driver responsive to an increase of the second voltage; and increasing the current to the first slew rate driver responsive to a decrease of the second voltage.
