Short summary
This paper presents a charge pump (CP) designed for a high linearity and a low noise to be used in a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL). An internal supply regulator with low intrinsic device noise is included in the design optimization. The high CP linearity is shown to reduce the level of in-band spurs in a fractional-N PLL tremendously.
