Abstract
In this paper, a new circuit is proposed to minimize the charging and discharging current mismatch in charge pump for UWB PLL application. By adding a common-gate and a common-source amplifier and building the feedback voltage regulator, the high driving charge pump currents are accomplished. The proposed circuit has a wide operation voltage range, which ensures its good performance under the low power supply. The circuit has been implemented in an IBM 0.13um CMOS technology with 1.2V power supply. To evaluate the design effectiveness, some comparisons have been conducted against other circuits in the literature.
