ABSTRACT:
A low power charge pump is provided that has complementary transistors capable of isolating switching noise from the input switching transistors. The charge pump uses charged currents that are matched in both magnitude and time to reduce switching noise in the output of the charge pump. The charge pump is also designed for use in a phase lock loop.
