Switched Capacitor Voltage Doubling Inverter
LM2682 Switched Capacitor Voltage Doubling Inverter
November 1999
General Description
The LM2682 is a CMOS charge-pump voltage inverter capable of converting positive voltage in the range of +2.0V to
+5.5V to the corresponding doubled negative voltage of
−4.0V to −11.0V respectively. The LM2682 uses three low
cost capacitors to provide 10 mA of output current without
the cost, size, and EMI related to inductor based circuits.
With an operating current of only 150µAandanoperatingefficiency greater than 90%with most loads, the LM2682 provides ideal performance for battery powered systems. The
LM2682 offers a switching frequency of 6 kHz.

The main application of the LM2682 is to generate a negative voltage that is twice the positive input voltage. This circuit requires onlythree external capacitorsand is connected

Output resistance is typically 90Ω with an input voltage of
+5V, an operating temperature of 25˚C, and using low ESR
3.3 µF capacitors. This equation shows the importance of
capacitor selection. Large value, low ESR capacitors will reduce the output resistancesignificantly but willalso requirea
larger overall circuit. Smaller capacitors will take up less
space but can lower efficiency greatly if the ESR is large.
Also to be considered is that C1 must be rated at 6 VDC or
greater while C2 andC3 mustbe ratedat 12VDC orgreater.
The amount of output voltage ripple isdetermined by theoutput capacitor C3 and the output current as shown in this
equation:

Once again a largercapacitor with smaller ESRwill give better results.

+5V to −5V Regulated Voltage Converter
Another application in which the LM2682 can be used is for
generating a −5V regulated supply from a +5V unregulated
supply. This involves using an op-amp and a reference and
is connected as shown in
chosen for its low cost and versatility and the LM4040-5.0
reference was chosen for its low bias current requirement.
Of course othercombinations may be used atthe designer’s
discretion to fit accuracy, efficiency, and cost requirements.
With this configuration the circuit is well regulated and isstill
capable of providing nearly10 mAof output current.With a9
mA load the circuit can typically maintain 5%regulation on
the output voltage withthe input varyinganywhere from4.5V
to the maximum of 5.5V. With less load the results are even
better.Voltage ripple concerns are reducedin this case since
the ripple at the output of the LM2682 is reduced at the output by the PSRR of the op-amp used.

Paralleling Devices
Any number of devices can be paralleled to reduce the output resistance. As shown in
its own pumping capacitors, C1 and C2,but only one shared
output capacitor is required. The effective output resistance
is the output resistance of onedevice divided bythe number
of devices used inparallel. Parallelingdevices also gives the
capability of increasing the maximum output current. The
maximum output current now becomes the maximum output
current for one device multiplied by the number of devices
used in parallel.For example, if you parallel two devices you
can get 20 mA of output current and have half the output resistance of one device supplying 10 mA.
