Detailed Description
The MAX1697 capacitive charge pumps invert the volt-
age applied to their input. For highest performance, use
low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors (e.g.,
ceramic).
During the first half-cycle, switches S2 and S4 open,
switches S1 and S3 close, and capacitor C1 charges to
the voltage at IN (Figure 2). During the second half-
cycle, S1 and S3 open, S2 and S4 close, and C1 is level
shifted downward by V
IN
volts. This connects C1 in par-
allel with the reservoir capacitor C2. If the voltage across
C2 is smaller than the voltage across C1, charge flows
from C1 to C2 until the voltage across C2 reaches
-V
IN
. The actual voltage at the output is more positive
than -V
IN
, since switches S1–S4 have resistance and the
load drains charge from C2.
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of the MAX1697 is dominated by its qui-
escent supply current (I
Q
) at low output current and by
its output impedance (R
OUT
) at higher output current; it
is given by:
OUTPUT RIPPLE vs. CAPACITANCE
