Methods and Circuits for a Low Input Voltage Charge Pump

A charge pump comprises, a plurality of branches each having serially-connected T-circuit cells, wherein each of the branches has a first end for receiving an input voltage and a second end for outputting a charge pump voltage, wherein each of the T-circuit cells comprises a first transistor, a second transistor, and a capacitor, wherein the first transistor and the second transistor of each of the T-circuit cells have a common drain, and wherein the gate of the first transistor of a certain one of the T-circuit cells of a certain branch is connected to a first branch and the gate of the second transistor of the certain one of the T-circuit cells of the certain branch is connected to a second branch.
