A low-voltage current reference providing a current being substantially constant with temperature includes a low voltage bandgap, a start circuit coupled to the low voltage bandgap, and a current summer coupled to the low voltage bandgap and to the start circuit. The low voltage bandgap is for providing a constant voltage reference, and the start circuit is for starting the low voltage bandgap from a non-start mode and for providing a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current reference. The current summer is for providing a constant current reference according to the constant voltage reference and the PTAT current reference.

A dynamic voltage pump circuit includes a first stage voltage pump, a second stage voltage pump, a limiter, and a comparator. The first stage voltage pump generates an intermediate supply voltage according to an input supply voltage and a pump signal. The second stage voltage pump generates an output supply voltage according to the intermediate supply voltage, the pump signal, and an enable signal; the second stage voltage pump is enabled and disabled when the enable signal is asserted and de-asserted, respectively. The limiter controls the pump signal according to a comparison of the output supply voltage with a first reference voltage. The comparator compares the first reference voltage with a second reference voltage to generate the enable signal, and can assert the enable signal when the desired output supply voltage exceeds the maximum possible intermediate supply voltage generated by the first stage voltage pump.
