Abstract:
In described examples, a method of operating a charge pump includes a first control signal deactivating a first transistor, and the first control signal's logical complement activating a second transistor to reset the first transistor's DC bias voltage. The first control signal's logical complement deactivates the second transistor, and the first control signal provides a bias voltage to the first transistor to activate it, causing current to be transmitted from an input voltage to an output terminal. A second control signal deactivates a third transistor, and the second control signal's logical complement activates a fourth transistor to reset the second transistor's DC bias voltage. The second control signal's logical complement deactivates the fourth transistor, and the second control signal provides a bias voltage to the third transistor to activate it, causing current to be transmitted from the output terminal to a ground.
