Abstract

In this paper, a new charge pump circuit for reducing charge and discharge currents with low power consumption is proposed. Using 1.8V supply voltage, this proposed charge pump generates maximum 19.9μA current. This charge pump is designed and simulated in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS technology in order to be used in a delay-locked loop. One of the benefits of this circuit is its capability to be applied in a wide frequency range from 50 to 800MHz with power consumption range of 410–740μW. The proposed charge pump exploits feedback loop in order to achieve suitable current matching and also has a good characteristics in high frequencies.
