Summary :

We have developed a high-efficiency charge-pump power supply circuit with large output current capability for mobile equipment. However, during the commercialization phase, we found that the large inrush current of 270 mA at charge-pump circuit startup-time could cause problems. In this paper we analyze the mechanism that causes this inrush current, and we propose circuitry to reduce it. We show SPICE simulation and measurement results for our proposed circuitry that confirm its effectiveness. By incorporating this circuitry, startup-time inrush current was reduced to 30 mA.
