A charge pump is provided. The charge pump may include an oscillator, a first switch, a second switch, a capacitor/switch network, an error amplifier, an adjustable resistance circuit, a first switch driver, and a second switch driver. In one embodiment, the first and second drivers each receive the oscillator voltage, and drive the first and second switches, respectively. Further, the adjustable resistance circuit is connected in series with the first and second switch circuits. The charge pump is arranged in a closed loop with the error amplifier driving the adjustable resistance circuit. The resistance of the adjustable resistance circuit is modulated to regulate the output voltage.
