Abstract:
A charge pump provides matched charging and discharging currents. One transistor is connected to an input of a charge pump core while two transistors are connected to the other input of the charge pump core, with each of the transistors mirroring a reference transistor through different mirroring pathways so that current through the transistor of the first input is equal to the sum of currents through the two transistors of the second input.

Abstract:
A first charge module includes a first resistor and a first capacitor. A second charge module includes a second resistor and a second capacitor. A voltage comparison module includes a comparator connected to compare voltages present on the first and second capacitors. The comparator is connected to output a signal having a first state when the voltage on the first capacitor is less than the voltage on the second capacitor, and output a signal having a second state opposite of the first state when the voltage on the first capacitor is greater than the voltage on the second capacitor. A control module is configured to receive a PWM signal as an input signal and generate control signals based on the received PWM signal for controlling charging and discharging of the first and second capacitors. The output of the comparator is a decoded version of the PWM signal.
