- segfaultbuserr 6y agoYes, but the keyword here is "sometimes", charge pumps can be efficient only when very specific conditions are met, usually low current and power (but there are exceptions), efficiency drops sharply as current increases. Putting the circuit onto the silicon creates many additional limitations.
