. DETAILED DESCRIPTION. Theory of Operation The charge pump converter inverts the voltage applied to the V pin. The conversion consists of a twophase operation (Figure -). During the first phase, switches S and S are open and switches S and S are closed. C charges to the voltage applied to the V pin, with the load current being supplied from C. During the second phase, switches S and S are closed and switches S and S are open. Charge is transferred from C to C, with the load current being supplied from C. V GND S FIGURE -: Inverter. S S C S C V OUT = -V IN Ideal Switched Capacitor In this manner, the performs a voltage inversion, but does not provide regulation. The average output voltage will drop in a linear manner with respect to load current. The equivalent circuit of the charge pump inverter can be modeled as an ideal voltage source in series with a resistor, as shown in Figure -. - V R OUT FIGURE -: Switched Capacitor Inverter Equivalent Circuit Model. The value of the series resistor (R OUT ) is a function of the switching frequency, capacitance and equivalent series resistance (ESR) of C and C and the on-resistance of switches S, S, S and S. A close approximation for R OUT is given in the following equation: V OUT EQUATION R OUT = ----------------------------- C R ESR ESR SW C C Where:. Switched Capacitor Inverter Power Losses The overall power loss of a switched capacitor inverter is affected by four factors:. Losses from power consumed by the internal oscillator, switch drive, etc. These losses will vary with input voltage, temperature and oscillator frequency.. Conduction losses in the non-ideal switches.. Losses due to the non-ideal nature of the external capacitors.. Losses that occur during charge transfer from C to C when a voltage difference between the capacitors exists. Figure - depicts the non-ideal elements associated with the switched capacitor inverter power loss. V - f PUMP FIGURE -: Capacitor Inverter.

. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION. Simple Negative Voltage Converter Figure - shows typical connections to provide a negative supply where a positive supply is available. A similar scheme may be employed for supply voltages anywhere in the operating range of.v to V, keeping in mind that pin (LV) is tied to the supply negative (GND) only for supply voltages below.v. C µf FIGURE -: Simple Negative Converter. The output characteristics of the circuit in Figure - are those of a nearly ideal voltage source in series with a resistor. Thus, for a load current of - ma and a supply voltage of V, the output voltage would be -.V. V * V OUT = -V for.v V V V OUT * C µf. Paralleling Devices To reduce the value of R OUT, multiple voltage converters can be connected in parallel (Figure -). The output resistance will be reduced by approximately a factor of n, where n is the number of devices connected in parallel. EQUATION R OUT = R OUT of -------------------------------------------------------- n number of devices While each device requires its own pump capacitor (C ), all devices may share one reservoir capacitor (C ). To preserve ripple performance, the value of C should be scaled according to the number of devices connected in parallel.. Cascading Devices A larger negative multiplication of the initial supply voltage can be obtained by cascading multiple devices. The output voltage and the output resistance will both increase by approximately a factor of n, where n is the number of devices cascaded.

. Changing the Oscillator Frequency The operating frequency of the can be changed in order to optimize the system performance. The frequency can be increased by over-driving the OSC input (Figure -). Any CMOS logic gate can be utilized in conjunction with a k series resistor. The resistor is required to prevent device latch-up. While TTL level signals can be utilized, an additional k pull-up resistor to V is required. Transitions occur on the rising edge of the clock input. The resultant output voltage ripple frequency is one half the clock input. Higher clock frequencies allow for the use of smaller pump and reservoir capacitors for a given output voltage ripple and droop. Additionally, this allows the to be synchronized to an external clock, eliminating undesirable beat frequencies. At light loads, lowering the oscillator frequency can increase the efficiency of the (Figure -). By lowering the oscillator frequency, the switching losses are reduced. Refer to Figure - to determine the typical operating frequency based on the value of the external capacitor. At lower operating frequencies, it may be necessary to increase the values of the pump and reservoir capacitors in order to maintain the desired output voltage ripple and output impedance. µf FIGURE -: C V k External Clocking. V CMOS GATE V OUT µf V C OSC V OUT C. Positive Voltage Multiplication Positive voltage multiplication can be obtained by employing two external diodes (Figure -). Refer to the theory of operation of the (Section. Theory of Operation ). During the half cycle when switch S is closed, capacitor C of Figure - is charged up to a voltage of V - V F, where V F is the forward voltage drop of diode D. During the next half cycle, switch S is closed, shifting the reference of capacitor C from GND to V. The energy in capacitor C is transferred to capacitor C through diode D, producing an output voltage of approximately: EQUATION V OUT = V V F V F where: V F is the forward voltage drop of diode D and V F is the forward voltage drop of diode D. FIGURE -: D D C V OUT = ( V ) - ( V F ) C Positive Voltage Multiplier.. Combined Negative Voltage Conversion and Positive Supply Multiplication Simultaneous voltage inversion and positive voltage multiplication can be obtained (Figure -). Capacitors C and C perform the voltage inversion, while capacitors C and C, plus the two diodes, perform the positive voltage multiplication. Capacitors C and C are the pump capacitors, while capacitors C and C are the reservoir capacitors for their respective functions. Both functions utilize the same switches of the. As a result, if either output is loaded, both outputs will drop towards GND. V FIGURE -: Frequency. Lowering Oscillator DSC-page - Microchip Technology Inc.

Efficient Positive Voltage Multiplication/Conversion Since the switches that allow the charge pumping operation are bidirectional, the charge transfer can be performed backwards as easily as forwards. Figure - shows a transforming -V to V (or V to V, etc.). The only problem here is that the internal clock and switch-drive section will not operate until some positive voltage has been generated. An initial inefficient pump, as shown in Figure -, could be used to start this circuit up, after which it will bypass the other (D and D in Figure - would never turn on), or else the diode and resistor shown dotted in Figure - can be used to force the internal regulator on.
