Differential charge pump with open loop common mode

摘要

A differential charge pump with common mode and active regulators is presented. Either type of regulator may be used to improve the performance characteristics of the differential charge pump. The active regulator increases the output range of the differential amplifier. The common mode regulator establishes the common mode voltage of the differential charge pump. The common mode voltage is established independently from external circuitry and does not use a feedback path. The common mode regulator may also be used to establish a mid-rail voltage, which may be used to further improve the output range of the differential amplifier.
