A charge pump (140) having a differential current amplifier with a current
source (151) that sources output current (155) in response to a first
bias point (141), and a current sink (152) that sinks current in response
to a second bias point (142) is provided. The charge pump includes a
first level translator (131) that monitors a high range of an output
voltage (156) of the differential current amplifier and self-adjusts the
first bias point to extend the output voltage to a higher range, and a
second level translator (132) that monitors a low range of the output
voltage of and self-adjusts the second bias point to extend the output
voltage to a lower range. The charge pump keeps the output current
constant between the higher range and the lower range. A sensing
transistor increases an output impedance of the differential current
amplifier and reduces output loading.
