The invention discloses a
charge pump applied to a
frequency synthesizer. The
charge pump comprises a charge-
discharge current
branch and an
output impedance multiplication circuit. The charging and discharging current
branch is composed of a unit
negative feedback loop and a
current source, wherein the unit
negative feedback loop is composed of a complementary
CMOS switch and a rail-to-rail inputand output
amplifier, and the charging and discharging current
branch is used for charging and discharging an output node and eliminating a
clock feed-through effect and a
charge sharing effect. Theoutput impedance multiplication circuit is composed of a folding type
cascode structure and is used for improving the
output impedance of the
charge pump. The
output impedance multiplication circuit comprises a
reference current source, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh and sixteenth NMOS tubes, and first, second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth andfifteenth PMOS tubes. The invention is suitable for the drain terminal switch charge pump with good matching characteristic under
low voltage, improves the matching degree of charging and dischargingcurrent, improves the
phase noise of the
frequency synthesizer, and improves the output impedance of the charge pump.
