The LTC1144 is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter. It performs supply voltage conversion from positive to negative from an input range of 2V to 18V, resulting in complementary output voltages of 2V to 18V. Only two noncritical external capacitors are needed for the charge pump and charge reservoir functions. The converter has an internal oscillator that can be overdriven by an external clock or slowed down when connected to a capacitor. The oscillator runs at a 10kHz frequency when unloaded. A higher frequency outside the audio band can also be obtained if the Boost Pin is tied to V +. The SHDN pin reduces supply current to 8A and can be used to save power when the converter is not in use. The LTC1144 contains an internal oscillator, divide-bytwo, voltage level shifter, and four power MOSFETs. A special logic circuit will prevent the power N-channel switch substrate from turning on.

The q denotes specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range; all other limits and typicals at TA = 25C. Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life of a device may be impaired. Note 2: Connecting any input terminal to voltages greater than V + or less than ground may cause destructive latch-up. It is recommended that no

inputs from sources operating from external supplies be applied prior to power-up of the LTC1144. Note 3: fOSC is tested with COSC = 100pF to minimize the effects of test fixture capacitance loading. The 0pF frequency is correlated to this 100pF test point, and is intended to simulate the capacitance at pin 7 when the device is plugged into a test socket and no external capacitor is used.

Theory of Operation To understand the theory of operation of the LTC1144, a review of a basic switched-capacitor building block is helpful. In Figure 2, when the switch is in the left position, capacitor C1 will charge to voltage V1. The total charge on C1 will be q1 = C1V1. The switch then moves to the right, discharging C1 to voltage V2. After this discharge time, the charge on C1 is q2 = C1V2. Note that charge has been transferred from the source V1 to the output V2. The amount of charge transferred is: q = q1 q2 = C1(V1 V2)

Examination of Figure 4 shows that the LTC1144 has the same switching action as the basic switched-capacitor building block. With the addition of finite switch onresistance and output voltage ripple, the simple theory, although not exact, provides an intuitive feel for how the device works. For example, if you examine power conversion efficiency as a function of frequency (see Figure 5), this simple theory will explain how the LTC1144 behaves. The loss,

and hence the efficiency, is set by the output impedance. As frequency is decreased, the output impedance will eventually be dominated by the 1/(f C1) term and power efficiency will drop. Note also that power efficiency decreases as frequency goes up. This is caused by internal switching losses which occur due to some finite charge being lost on each switching cycle. This charge loss per unit cycle, when multiplied by the switching frequency, becomes a current loss. At high frequency this loss becomes significant and the power efficiency starts to decrease.

SHDN (Pin 6) The LTC1144 has a SHDN pin that will disable the internal oscillator when it is pulled low. The supply current will also drop to 8A. OSC (Pin 7) and Boost (Pin 1) The switching frequency can be raised, lowered or driven from an external source. Figure 6 shows a functional diagram of the oscillator circuit. By connecting the boost pin (pin 1) to V +, the charge and discharge current is increased, and hence the frequency is increased by approximately 10 times. Increasing the frequency will decrease output impedance and ripple for higher load currents. Loading pin 7 with more capacitance will lower the frequency. Using the boost (pin 1) in conjunction with exter-

nal capacitance on pin 7 allows user selection of the frequency over a wide range. Driving the LTC1144 from an external frequency source can be easily achieved by driving pin 7 and leaving the boost pin open as shown in Figure 7. The output current from pin 7 is small, typically 4A, so a logic gate is capable of driving this current. The choice of using a CMOS logic gate is best because it can operate over a wide supply voltage range (3V to 15V) and has enough voltage swing to drive the internal Schmitt trigger shown in Figure 6. For 5V applications, a TTL logic gate can be used by simply adding an external pull-up resistor (see Figure 7). Capacitor Selection External capacitors C1 and C2 are not critical. Matching is not required, nor do they have to be high quality or tight tolerance. Aluminum or tantalum electrolytics are excellent choices, with cost and size being the only consideration.

Negative Voltage Converter

Figure 8 shows a typical connection which will provide a negative supply from an available positive supply. This circuit operates over full temperature and power supply ranges without the need of any external diodes. The output voltage (pin 5) characteristics of the circuit are those of a nearly ideal voltage source in series with a 56 resistor. The 56 output impedance is composed of two terms: 1) the equivalent switched capacitor resistance (see Theory of Operation), and 2) a term related to the onresistance of the MOS switches.

Notice that the above equation for REQUIV is not a capacitive reactance equation (X C = 1/C) and does not contain a 2 term. The exact expression for output impedance is extremely complex, but the dominant effect of the capacitor is clearly shown in Figure 5. For C1 = C2 = 10F, the output impedance goes from 56 at fOSC = 10kHz to 250 at fOSC = 1kHz. As the 1/(f C) term becomes large compared to the switch on-resistance term, the output resistance is determined by 1/(f C) only. Voltage Doubling Figure 9 shows a two-diode capacitive voltage doubler. With a 15V input, the output is 29.45V with no load and 28.18V with a 10mA load.

However, if the output resistance is dominated by 1/(f C1), increasing the capacitor size (C1) or increasing the frequency will be of more benefit than the paralleling circuit shown.
