  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a charge pump with a symmetric structure that minimizes mismatch between charge and discharge currents and phase offset. The origins and influences of charge pump mismatch are discussed and theoretically analyzed. Subsequently the simulation results of the proposed charge pump are compared with conventional structures to show its benefits.
