Abstract: In described examples, a method of operating a charge pump includes a first control signal deactivating a first transistor, and the first control signal's logical complement activating a second transistor to reset the first transistor's DC bias voltage. The first control signal's logical complement deactivates the second transistor, and the first control signal provides a bias voltage to the first transistor to activate it, causing current to be transmitted from an input voltage to an output terminal. A second control signal deactivates a third transistor, and the second control signal's logical complement activates a fourth transistor to reset the second transistor's DC bias voltage. The second control signal's logical complement deactivates the fourth transistor, and the second control signal provides a bias voltage to the third transistor to activate it, causing current to be transmitted from the output terminal to a ground.

Abstract: A frequency multiplier includes an input section to receive a quadrature phase input signal having an input frequency, a mixer section coupled to the input section by a common mode node that forms a path for the common mode signal current to flow to the mixer section and magnetically coupled to the common mode node or capacitively coupled to the input section to generate a differential switching voltage at odd multiples of twice the input frequency, which switching voltage is applied to inputs of the mixer section, and an output section magnetically coupled to the mixer section, the output section being configured to generate an output voltage having a dominate frequency and sub-dominate frequencies spaced apart by the first multiple, the dominate frequency of the output voltage being a second multiple of the input frequency, where the second multiple is greater than the first multiple. Various arrangements are provided.
