Abstract:
A dual differential sawtooth signal generator includes a first sawtooth voltage generator that has a first capacitor and a second capacitor that are alternately charged with a feedback control source current from a low voltage reference voltage level. A second sawtooth voltage generator has a first discharge capacitor and a second discharge capacitor that are alternately discharged with a feedback control sink current from a high voltage reference voltage level. The output signals of the two sawtooth voltage generators are compared to control a phase frequency comparator that provides signals to control a dual charge pump that provides the feedback control source current and that provides the feedback control sink current.
