Abstract

See full text

A charge pump implemented in a CMOS monolithic circuit provides a precise output charging current source or current sink with fast switching characteristics. Each of two CMOS output transistors is connected via a transmission gate to a transistor having a constant current flow through it. An MOS capacitor is connected to the gates of the constant current transistors. When a transmission gate is closed, the respective output transistor is coupled to the constant current transistor in a current mirror configuration. The output transistor is quickly switched on to cause a step change in output current.
