LM2664
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter

General Description

The LM2664 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter inverts
a positive voltage in the range of +1.8V to +5.5V to the cor­responding negative voltage of −1.8V to −5.5V.The LM2664
uses two low cost capacitors to provide up to 40 mA of out­put current.

The LM2664 operates at 160 kHz oscillator frequency to re­duce output resistance and voltage ripple. With an operating
current of only 220 µA (operating efficiency greater than 91

%
with most loads) and 1 µA typical shutdown current, the
LM2664 provides ideal performance for battery powered
systems. The device is in SOT-23-6 package.

Circuit Description

The LM2664 contains four large CMOS switches which are
switched in a sequence to invert the input supply voltage.
Energy transfer and storage are provided by external capaci­tors.

Figure 2

illustrates the voltage conversion scheme.

When S

1

and S3are closed, C1charges to the supply volt-

age V+. During this time interval, switches S

2

and S4are

open. In the second time interval, S

1

and S3are open; at the

same time, S

2

and S4are closed, C1is charging C2. After a

number of cycles, the voltage across C

2

will be pumped to

V+. Since the anode of C

2

is connected to ground, the output

at the cathode of C

2

equals −(V+) when there is no load cur­rent. The output voltage drop when a load is added is deter­mined by the parasitic resistance (R

ds(on)

of the MOSFET
switches and the ESR of the capacitors) and the charge
transfer loss between capacitors. Details will be discussed in
the following application information section.

Application Information

Simple Negative Voltage Converter

The main application of LM2664 is to generate a negative
supply voltage. The voltage inverter circuit uses only two ex­ternal capacitors as shown in the Basic Application Circuits.
The range of the input supply voltage is 1.8V to 5.5V.

The output characteristics of this circuit can be approximated
by an ideal voltage source in series with a resistance. The
voltage source equals −(V+). The output resistance R

out

is a
function of the ON resistance of the internal MOSFET
switches, the oscillator frequency, the capacitance and ESR
of C

1

and C2. Since the switching current charging and dis-

charging C

1

is approximately twice as the output current, the

effect of the ESR of the pumping capacitor C

1

will be multi­plied by four in the output resistance. The output capacitor
C

2

is charging and discharging at a current approximately
equal to the output current, therefore, its ESR only counts
once in the output resistance. A good approximation of R

out

is:

where RSWis the sum of the ON resistance of the internal
MOSFET switches shown in

Figure 2

.

High capacitance, low ESR capacitors will reduce the output
resistance.

The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple is determined by the
oscillator frequency, the capacitance and ESR of the output
capacitor C

2

:

Again, using a low ESR capacitor will result in lower ripple.

Shutdown Mode

A shutdown (SD ) pin is available to disable the device and
reduce the quiescent current to 1µA. Applying a voltage less
than 20%of V+ to the SD pin will bring the device into shut­down mode. While in normal operating mode, the pin is con­nected to V+.

Capacitor Selection

As discussed in the

Simple Negative Voltage Converter

sec­tion, the output resistance and ripple voltage are dependent
on the capacitance and ESR values of the external capaci­tors. The output voltage drop is the load current times the
output resistance, and the power efficiency is

Where IQ(V+) is the quiescent power loss of the IC device,
and I

L

2

R

out

is the conversion loss associated with the switch

on-resistance, the two external capacitors and their ESRs.
The selection of capacitors is based on the specifications of

the dropout voltage (which equals I

outRout

), the output volt­age ripple, and the converter efficiency. Low ESR capacitors
(Table 1) are recommended to maximize efficiency, reduce
the output voltage drop and voltage ripple.

Other Applications

Paralleling Devices

Any number of LM2664s can be paralleled to reduce the out­put resistance. Each device must have its own pumping ca­pacitor C

1

, while only one output capacitor C

out

is needed as

shown in Figure 3. The composite output resistance is:

Other Applications (Continued)

Cascading Devices

Cascading the LM2664s is an easy way to produce a greater
negative voltage (e.g. A two-stage cascade circuit is shown
in Figure 4).

If n is the integer representing the number of devices cas­caded, the unloaded output voltage V

out

is (-nVin). The effec­tive output resistance is equal to the weighted sum of each
individual device:

R

out

=

nR

out_1

+ n/2 R

out_2

+...+R

out_n

Note that, the number of n is practically limited since the in­creasing of n significantly reduces the efficiency, and in­creases the output resistance and output voltage ripple.

Combined Doubler and Inverter

In Figure 5, the LM2664 is used to provide a positive voltage
doubler and a negative voltage converter. Note that the total
current drawn from the two outputs should not exceed 50
mA.

Regulating V

OUT

It is possible to regulate the negative output of the LM2664
by use of a low dropout regulator (such as LP2980). The
whole converter is depicted in Figure 6. This converter can
give a regulated output from −1.8V to −5.5V by choosing the
proper resistor ratio:
