A charge pump includes a first transistor, a first switch coupled between the first transistor and an output of the charge pump, a second transistor, and a second switch coupled between the output of the charge pump and the second transistor. The charge pump also includes a third transistor, wherein a gate of the third transistor is coupled to a gate of the first transistor, a fourth transistor, wherein a drain of the fourth transistor is coupled to a drain of the third transistor, and a bias circuit configured to bias a gate of the fourth transistor and a gate of the second transistor. The charge pump also includes an amplifier having a first input coupled to the output of the charge pump, a second input coupled to the drain of the third transistor, and the output coupled to the gate of the third transistor.
A system, comprising:
A method for operating a charge pump, the charge pump including a first transistor providing a first current, a second transistor providing a second current, a first switch coupled between the first transistor and an output of the charge pump, a second switch coupled between the output of the charge pump and the second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, and a bias circuit biasing a gate of the second transistor and a gate of the fourth transistor, wherein a gate of the third transistor is coupled to a gate of the first transistor, and a drain of the third transistor is coupled to a drain of the fourth transistor, the method comprising:
