  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Analog Circuits and Signal Processing ((ACSP,volume 5))

Abstract

This chapter describes which categories of voltage converters are covered in this book. Various applications of on-chip high-voltage generators such as memory applications for MNOS, DRAM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, and phase-change memory, and other electronic devices for motor drivers, white LED drivers, LCD drivers, and energy harvesters are overviewed. System configuration of the on-chip high-voltage generator and key design consideration for the building circuit blocks such as charge pumps, pump regulators, oscillators, level shifters, and voltage references are surveyed.
