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 23):
The method of  claim 17 , further comprising outputting a gate drive signal from the first drive circuit to turn on the second transistor, wherein a source of the second transistor is coupled to the output voltage node and wherein a drain of the second transistor is coupled to a capacitive element.
