Abstract

There is disclosed a regulator for a charge pump having an input signal and generating an output signal at a value greater than the input signal. The charge pump comprises at least a capacitor and at least a device for charging and discharging the capacitor; the regulator comprises means having at the input said signal exiting the charge pump and a reference signal. Said means are able to generate a supply signal for said at least a device in response to the value of the difference between the output signal of the charge pump and said reference signal.
