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 30):
The apparatus of  claim 29 , further comprising:\n means for enabling a current source coupled between the input voltage node and the output voltage node of the charge pump converter; means for comparing a voltage associated with the output voltage node with a reference voltage; and means for outputting an indication for the charge pump converter after the voltage associated with the output voltage node meets or exceeds the reference voltage based on the comparison, wherein the means for selectively enabling is activated to enable the means for driving based on the indication.
