With the increase in communication requirements, new communication technologies and implementation methods have developed rapidly. The rise of emerging markets such as the Internet of Things, smart homes, smart cities, and wearables has promoted the development of wireless communication integrated circuits in the direction of monolithic, low energy consumption, and high energy efficiency. This paper proposes a new dual branch charge pump based on CTS charge pump with enhanced current drive capability and undesired charge transfer completely eliminated. Clock matched technology is proposed to completely eliminate undesired charge transfer caused by delay turn on and off of the auxiliary transistors in the traditional CTS charge pump. The current drive capability is enhanced by employing NMOS transistors with 2Vdd gate drive voltage, while traditional dual branch CTS charge pumps are based on PMOS with 1Vdd gate drive voltage. The output voltage ripple is also reduced resulting from a dual branch structure. Simulation results of output voltage gain and power efficiency for the proposed charge pump and other traditional charge pumps are provided. Comparisons are made to show the improvement of the proposed charge pump compared with other traditional charge pumps.

Abstract Charge pumps are circuits that produce the voltage higher than supply voltage or negative voltage. Today, charge pumps became an integral part of the electronic equipment. The integration of charge pumps directly into the system allows manufacturers to feed a complex system with many specific power requirements from a single source. However, charge pump efficiency is reduced by many phenomena. This paper is focused on the question of efficiency of proposed variant of the charge pump. In this article, the efficiency dependence on a number of stages, output current, clock frequency and MOSFETs sizes was simulated by Eldo. The aim of this study is to determine the MOSFETs sizes and theirs influence to efficiency and the output voltage. Complex optimization of the charge pump circuit will follow in further text.

A 16-phase 8-branch charge pump with finger boost capacitor is proposed to increase the power efficiency. Compared with the standard capacitor, the finger capacitor can significantly reduce the parasitic capacitance. The proposed four-stage charge pump with finger capacitor can achieve 14.2 V output voltage from a 3 V power supply. The finger capacitor can increase the power efficiency of the charge pump to 60.5% and save chip area as well.

This paper presents two variants of a high step-up ratio charge pump for high voltage micro electro-mechanical system and condenser microphones. The implementations are based on an additive charge pump topology where respectively 46 and 57 cascaded stages are used to generate an output voltage of 182 V from a supply voltage of 5 V. The two charge pumps have been fabricated in a 180 nm SOI process with a breakdown voltage of more than 200 V and respectively occupy an area of 0.52 mm2 and 0.39 mm2. The charge pumps can output up to 182.5 V and 181.7 V and are designed to drive a capacitive load with a leakage of 2 nA. When driven with a 100 kHz clock, their power consumption is respectively 40 µW and 20 µW. The rise time of the charge pumps output from 0 V to 182 V is less than 5 ms. The implemented charge pumps exhibit state-of-the-art performance for very high voltage dc-dc capacitive drive applications.

A fully-integrated self-startup circuit with ultra-low voltage for thermal energy harvesting is presented in this paper. The converter is composed of an enhanced swing LC oscillator and a charge pump with decreased equivalent input capacitance. The LC oscillator has ultra-low input voltage and high output voltage swing, and the charge pump has a fast charging speed and small equivalent input capacitance. This circuit is designed with 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m standard CMOS process. The simulation results show that the output voltage is in the range of 0.14[Formula: see text]V and 2.97[Formula: see text]V when the input voltage is changed from 50[Formula: see text]mV to 150[Formula: see text]mV. The output voltage could reach 2.87[Formula: see text]V at the input voltage of 150[Formula: see text]mV and the load of 1[Formula: see text]M[Formula: see text]. The maximum efficiency is in the range of 10.0% and 14.8% when the input voltage is changed from 0.2[Formula: see text]V to 0.4[Formula: see text]V. The circuit is suitable for thermoelectric energy harvesting to start with ultra-low input voltage.

Abstract Rhenium(I)-carbonyl-diimine complexes are promising photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be perfect sensitizers to enhance the reduction activities. Here we investigated the excited state dynamics of COF (TpBpy) with 2,2'-bipyridine incorporating Re(CO)5Cl (Re-TpBpy) to rationalize the underlying mechanism. The time-dependent DFT calculation first clarified excited state structure of the hybrid catalyst. The studies from transient visible and infrared spectroscopies revealed the excitation energy-dependent photo-induced charge transfer pathways in Re-TpBpy. Under low energy excitation, the electrons at the LUMO level are quickly injected from Bpy into ReI center (1–2 ps) followed by backward recombination (13 ps). Under high energy excitation, the hot-electrons are first injected into the higher unoccupied level of ReI center (1–2 ps) and then slowly relax back to the HOMO in COF (24 ps). There also remains long-lived free electrons in the COF moiety. This explained the excitation energy-dependent CO2 reduction performance in our system.
