The charge pump can output a step-up and a step-down voltage simultaneously with a high driving capability. The multiple gain pair technique was introduced to enhance its efficiency.

A group of analytical equations were derived to model its static characteristics. A state-space model was derived to describe its small-signal dynamic behavior. Analytical predictions were verified by Spectre simulation and testing.
