A charge pump circuit provides no net charge transfer during the anti-backlash pulse to the loop-filter (LF). The circuit has phase-locked loop (PLL) latched in, and the source- and sink-current contributions held equal. The voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) remains tuned and balanced with the desired control voltage precisely adjusted. The PMOS-transistor (Csource) forming the boost capacitance in the source branch, has its gate-terminal joined to the gate terminal of the PMOS- output transistor (MP1) of the charge pump (CP). The NMOS-transistor (Csink) forming the boost-capacitance in the sink branch has its gate-terminal joined to the gate terminal of the NMOS-output transistor (MN1) of the charge pump. The length and width of the PMOS-transistor (Csource) and of the NMOS- transistor (Csink) are fixed at the same length and up to half the width of the corresponding PMOS- or NMOS- output transistor (MP1,MN1) of the charge pump.
