Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for powering up a charge pump converter and providing protection and soft-start circuitry therefor. One example charge pump converter generally includes a first transistor and a second transistor coupled in series between an input voltage node and an output voltage node of the charge pump converter, a first capacitive element having a first terminal coupled to a node between the first and second transistors, and a first switch coupled to the input voltage node, the first switch being configured to selectively enable a first drive circuit having an output coupled to a control terminal of the second transistor.

Claim (Index 7):
The charge pump converter of  claim 6 , further comprising:\n a second drive circuit having an output coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor; a second diode device having a cathode coupled to a first power supply node of the second drive circuit and an anode coupled to at least one of the first power supply node of the first drive circuit or the anode of the first diode device; and a second switch coupled in parallel with the second diode device.
