A phase locked loop with a charge pump circuit has increased stability and phase margin. The charge pump circuit feeds back its voltage output to generate a reference current. In one embodiment, the charge pump circuit comprises a current generator responsive to a charge voltage that has been output from the charge pump. The current generator generates a reference current based on the charge voltage and a supply voltage. The reference current may comprise a bootstrap current and an auxiliary current. The charge pump circuit also comprises a current mirror that generates a source current and a sink current that are substantially the same as the reference current. The charge pump circuit further comprises a charge voltage generator to generate the charge voltage based on the source current and the sink current. A related method is also disclosed. Other embodiments are provided, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or in combination with one another.
