ABSTRACT:
A feedback loop, such as a phase-locked loop, on an integrated circuit has a detector, a charge pump, and a loop filter. The charge pump adjusts its output current in response to variations in a process of the integrated circuit to reduce variations in the loop bandwidth. The charge pump also adjusts its output current in response to variations in a resistance of a resistor in the loop filter to reduce variations in the loop bandwidth. The charge pump can also adjust its output current in response to variations in a temperature of the integrated circuit to reduce variations in the loop bandwidth. A delay-locked loop on an integrated circuit has a phase detector and a charge pump. The charge pump adjusts its output current in response to variations in the temperature and the process of the integrated circuit to reduce changes in the loop bandwidth.
