Abstract

A charge sharing circuit includes a charge source having an accumulated first charge and a charge load having an accumulated second charge, where during a charge sharing interval the second charge is less than the first charge. A charge sharing regulator selectively couples between the charge source and the charge load along a charge sharing path. The charge sharing regulator regulates transfer of a shared amount of charge from the charge source to the charge load during the charge sharing interval.
