Abstract:
Methods of operating a charge pump, and charge pumps configured to perform similar methods, involve monitoring a level of a supply voltage of the charge pump, and turning off an oscillator of the charge pump responsive to the level of the supply voltage dropping below a certain level, wherein turning off the oscillator comprises setting an inverter in a ring oscillator loop of the oscillator to a steady state output.

Claim (Index 13):
A charge pump, comprising:\n a delay element; a plurality of inverters; and a flip flop, the delay element, the plurality of inverters, and the flip flop coupled in series, and an output of a one of the plurality of inverters coupled in a feedback loop to the delay element; wherein the charge pump is configured to monitor a level of a supply voltage, and to turn off an oscillator of the charge pump responsive to the level of the supply voltage dropping below a certain level; wherein the delay element, the plurality of inverters, and the flip flop comprise a ring oscillator loop, and wherein the oscillator includes the ring oscillator loop; and wherein the charge pump is configured to turn off the oscillator by setting an inverter in the ring oscillator loop of the charge pump to a steady state output.
