Abstract
According to embodiments, dual path loop filter circuits are described which have, for example, a single charge pump. The current flow in the DPLF circuit is architected to source, during an injection time period, a first current to the loop filter, sink, also during the injection time period, a second current from the loop filter, wherein the first current has a magnitude of α*I and the second current has a magnitude of β*I, and sink, during a linearization time period, a third current from the loop filter, wherein the third current has a magnitude of (α−β)*I.
