Systems and methods of flyback capacitor level shifter feedback regulation for negative pumps. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, a feedback regulator for a negative output charge pump comprises a flyback capacitor for inverting an output of the negative output charge pump to a positive voltage. The feedback regulator further comprises a voltage comparator for comparing the positive voltage to a reference voltage. The voltage comparator is also for producing an enable signal for control of pump driving signals to the negative output charge pump. The feedback regulator further comprises a first plurality of switches for selectively coupling a first terminal of the flyback capacitor between a low voltage and the output and a second plurality of switches for selectively coupling a second terminal of the flyback capacitor between a low voltage and the voltage comparator. Further, the feedback regulator comprises switch control logic for controlling the plurality of switches.
