Abstract
A charge pump with which a dynamic range of control voltage can be set broadly and a phase locked loop using the charge pump. The charge pump includes first, second and third transistors having respective first terminals for supplying constant currents to an output terminal. A second terminal of the first transistor is connected through a resistor to a power source. Second terminals of the second and third transistors are grounded through respective first and second T/M circuits (transmission gate analog switch circuits). A DOWN signal is applied to the first T/M circuit, and an inverted UP signal is applied to the second T/M circuit, in order to supply or draw out current via the output terminal.
