A charge pump is provided with two independent outlets that can satisfy
the pressure requirements of both a charge circuit and an auxiliary
circuit. Preferably, the charge pump is a multiple roller vane pump that
has at least one inlet and two outlets independent of each other. The
first outlet is in fluid communication with a charge circuit, and the
second outlet is in fluid communication with an auxiliary circuit.
Because the two outlets are independent of each other, the roller vane
pump is able to satisfy the pressure requirements of both the charge and
auxiliary circuits. Preferably, the two outlets are diametrically opposed
to each other, thereby reducing the load on the driveshaft. Additionally,
the roller vane pump may include a second inlet independent of the first.
