Abstract:
A differential signal driven direct-current voltage generating device is proposed, which is designed for use with a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit or a DLL (delay-locked loop) circuit system for generating an output of a direct-current (DC) voltage in response to a pair of differential signals, such as phase-difference signals; and which is characterized by the utilization of a capacitor-switched voltage doubler for doubling the output voltage of a charge pump so that the doubled voltage can be used as a control voltage for a PLL-VCO (voltage-controlled oscillation) or a DLL-VCDL (voltage-controlled delay line) circuit for generation of an output oscillating signal with a wider frequency range.
