A near‐threshold charge pump circuit suitable for a phase‐locked loop‐based frequency synthesiser is presented. The charge pump uses gate switches and dual feedback loops to achieve good up/down current matching characteristics in low‐voltage operation. The applied gate switches reduce the leakage current and the feedback loops provide a more stable operation. Post‐layout simulation results demonstrate that the proposed charge pump circuit consumes only 60 µW with a 0.5 V supply voltage. The charge pump circuit is implemented in a 0.13 µm CMOS process.
