Abstract

See full text

A charge pump is disclosed including an output capacitive element to store an output voltage, a charging current source to charge the output capacitive element, a charging switching element to couple a first bias voltage to the charging current source in response to a charging signal, a discharging current source to discharge the output capacitive element, a discharging switching element to couple a second bias voltage to the discharging current source in response to a discharging signal, a unity gain amplifier to generate an amplifier voltage substantially equal to the output voltage, a first switching element to couple the amplifier voltage to the charging current source in response to a leakage prevention signal; and a second switching element to couple the amplifier voltage to the discharging current source in response to the leakage prevention signal.
