1 9-7; Rev ; 7/97 Compact, Dual-Output Charge Pump General Description The is a CMOS charge-pump DC-DC converter in an ultra-small µmax package. It produces positive and negative outputs from a single positive input, and requires only four capacitors. The charge pump first doubles the input voltage, then inverts the doubled voltage. The input voltage ranges from +.5V to +.V. The internal oscillator is guaranteed to be between khz and 38kHz, keeping noise above the audio range while consuming minimal supply current. A 75Ω output impedance permits useful output currents up to ma. The comes in a.mm-high, 8-pin µmax package that occupies half the board area of a standard 8-pin SOIC. For a device with selectable frequencies and logic-controlled shutdown, refer to the MAX8 data sheet.

5 Detailed Description The contains all the circuitry needed to implement a voltage doubler/inverter. Only four external capacitors are needed. These may be polarized electrolytic or ceramic capacitors with values ranging from µf to µf. Figure a shows the ideal operation of the positive voltage doubler. The on-chip oscillator generates a 5% duty-cycle clock signal. During the first half cycle, switches S and S open, switches S and S3 close, and capacitor C charges to the input voltage (V). During the second half cycle, switches S and S3 open, switches S and S close, and capacitor C is level shifted upward by V. Assuming ideal switches and no load on C3, charge transfers into C3 from C such that the voltage on C3 will be V, generating the positive supply output (). Figure b illustrates the ideal operation of the negative converter. The switches of the negative converter are out of phase with the positive converter. During the second half cycle, switches S and S8 open and switches S5 and S7 close, charging C from (pumped up to V by the positive charge pump) to. In the first half of the clock cycle, switches S5 and S7 open, switches S and S8 close, and the charge on capacitor C transfers to C, generating the negative supply. The eight switches are CMOS power MOSFETs. Switches S, S, S, and S5 are P-channel devices, while switches S3, S, S7, and S8 are N-channel devices. Charge-Pump Output The is not a voltage regulator: the output source resistance of either charge pump is approximately 5Ω at room temperature with V = +5V, and and will approach +V and -V, respectively, when lightly loaded. Both and will droop toward as the current draw from either or increases, since is derived from. Treating each converter separately, the droop of the negative supply (VDROOP-) is the product of the current draw from (I) and the source resistance of the negative converter (RS-): V = I x RS - DROOP- The droop of the positive supply (VDROOP+) is the product of the current draw from the positive supply (ILOAD+) and the source resistance of the positive a) b) S C+ S S5 C+ S S3 C S C3 I N I V + R L + S7 C C- S8 C I V - R L - Figure.

The positive charge pump is tested with unloaded. The negative charge pump is tested with supplied from an external source, isolating the negative charge pump. Current draw from either or is supplied by the reservoir capacitor alone during one half cycle of the clock. Calculate the resulting ripple voltage on either output as follows: V RIPPLE = I LOAD ( / f PUMP) ( / C RESERVOIR) where ILOAD is the load on either or. For the typical fpump of 3kHz with reservoir capacitors, the ripple is 5mV when ILOAD is 5mA. Remember that, in most applications, the total load on is the load current (I) and the current taken by the negative charge pump (I). Efficiency Considerations Theoretically, a charge-pump voltage multiplier can approach % power efficiency under the following conditions: The charge-pump switches have virtually no offset and extremely low on-resistance. The drive circuitry consumes minimal power. The impedances of the reservoir and pump capacitors are negligible. For the, the energy loss per clock cycle is the sum of the energy loss in the positive and negative converters, as follows: LOSS CYCLE = LOSS POS + LOSSNEG = C ( V + ) V + V ( ) ( ) + C ( V + ) ( V ) The average power loss is simply: P = LOSS x f LOSS CYCLE PUMP Resulting in an efficiency of: ( ) η = Total Output Power / Total Output Power P LOSS V C- C+ 8 C- C+ 8 OUT C OUT- Figure 3. Paralleling s

7 A substantial voltage difference exists between ( - V) and V for the positive pump, and between and if the impedances of the pump capacitors (C and C) are large with respect to their output loads. Larger values of reservoir capacitors (C3 and C) reduce output ripple. Larger values of both pump and reservoir capacitors improve power efficiency. Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection To maintain the lowest output resistance, use capacitors with low effective series resistance (ESR). The chargepump output resistance is a function of C, C, C3, and C s ESR. Therefore, minimizing the charge-pump capacitors ESR minimizes the total output resistance. Applications Information Positive and Negative Converter The is most commonly used as a dual chargepump voltage converter that provides positive and negative outputs of two times a positive input voltage. The Typical Operating Circuit shows that only four external components are needed: capacitors C and C3 for the positive pump, C and C for the negative pump. In most applications, all four capacitors are low-cost, polarized electrolytics. For applications where PC board space is at a premium and very low currents are being drawn from the, µf capacitors may be used for the pump capacitors C and C, with µf reservoir capacitors C3 and C. Capacitors C and C must be rated at V or greater. Paralleling Devices Paralleling multiple s (Figure 3) reduces the output resistance of both the positive and negative converters. The effective output resistance is the output resistance of one device divided by the number of devices. Separate C and C charge-pump capacitors are required for each, but the reservoir capacitors C3 and C can be shared. Heavy Output Current Loads When under heavy loads, where is sourcing current into (i.e., load current flows from to, rather than from supply to ground), do not allow the supply to pull above ground. In applications where large currents flow from to, use a Schottky diode (N587) between and, with the anode connected to (Figure ). Layout and Grounding Good layout is important, primarily for good noise performance. To ensure good layout: Mount all components as close together as possible Keep traces short to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance Use a ground plane. Figure. A Schottky diode protects the when large currents flow from to. 7
