Abstract

A method for operating a charge pump having a variable switching frequency may include comparing a target minimum output voltage with an output voltage generated at an output of the charge pump and controlling switching of switches of the charge pump based on the comparison such that the variable switching frequency varies as an output current driven by the charge pump varies.
