Abstract:
A charge pump includes an input, an output, and a fixed voltage node; a first capacitor and at least a second capacitor; and a plurality of switches adapted to selectively couple the first capacitor and the at least the second capacitor to the input, the output, and the fixed voltage node. A switch controller is adapted to switch the plurality of switches in response to at least three phase signals to provide fixed gains. A phase generator is adapted to generate the at least three phase signals, wherein at least one of the at least three phase signals has a duty cycle that is different from at least one other of the at least three phase signals. The phase generator is also adapted to adjust the frequency of a clock signal used to generate the at least three phase signals so that a minimum switching frequency is provided.
