ABSTRACT:
A differential charge pump circuit for eliminating influence of mismatches between current sources is disclosed. The differential charge pump circuit includes a floating capacitor for providing an output voltage, a slicer for outputting a comparison signal to control a charge/discharge actions of the floating capacitor, a first current source, a second current source, a first-common-mode current source, a second-common-mode current source, and a third-common-mode current source connected in parallel with the first current source. The differential charge pump circuit of the present invention utilizes switches to switch the charge and discharge current paths of the capacitor with respect to the common mode current source and the charge/discharge current source. Therefore, the duty cycle of the output signal is free from being adversely influenced by the mismatches between the current sources.
