Abstract
(EN)
According to one exemplary embodiment, a voltage up-conversion circuit includes a modulated voltage generator circuit, where the modulated voltage generator circuit is configured to receive an input voltage and generate a modulated voltage, and where the modulated voltage generator circuit includes at least one transistor. The voltage up- conversion circuit further includes a switching circuit coupled to the modulated voltage generator circuit, where the switching circuit is configured to couple the modulated voltage to a load capacitor when the modulated voltage is at a high level and decouple the modulated voltage to the load capacitor when the modulated voltage is at a low level. In the voltage up- conversion circuit, the load capacitor reaches a voltage greater a breakdown voltage of the at least one transistor in the modulated voltage generator circuit. The breakdown voltage can be a reliability breakdown voltage.

La présente invention concerne, dans un mode de réalisation, un circuit de conversion montante de tension, qui comprend un circuit générateur de tension modulée, configuré pour recevoir une tension d'entrée et générer une tension modulée et comprenant au moins un transistor. Le circuit de conversion montante de tension comprend également un circuit de commutation couplé au circuit générateur de tension modulée, où le circuit de commutation est configuré pour coupler la tension modulée à un condensateur de charge lorsque la tension modulée est à un niveau élevé et découpler la tension modulée sur le condensateur de charge lorsque la tension modulée est à un bas niveau. Dans le circuit de conversion montante de la tension, le condensateur de charge atteint une tension supérieure à une tension de rupture d'au moins un transistor dans le circuit générateur de tension modulée. La tension de rupture peut être une tension de rupture fiable.
