November 1999
General Description
The LM2686 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter operates as an input voltage doubler and a +5V regulator for an
input voltage in the range of +2.85V to +6.5V. Three low cost
capacitors are used in this circuit to provide up to 50mA of
output current at +5.0V (
130 kHz switching frequency to reduce output resistance
and voltage ripple. With an operating current of only 450µA
(operating efficiency greater than 80%with most loads) and
6.0µA typical shutdown current, the LM2686 is ideal for use
in battery powered systems. The device is in a small 14-pin
TSSOP package.

FIGURE 1. Functional Block Diagram
The LM2686 CMOS charge pump voltage converter operates as an input voltage doubler, +5V regulator for an input
voltage in the range of +2.85V to +6.5V. It delivers maximum
load currents of 50mA for the regulated +5V,with an operating current of only 450µA. It also has a typical shutdown current of 6µA. All these performance qualities make the
LM2686 an ideal device for battery powered systems.
The LM2686 has two main functional blocks: a voltage doubler and a low dropout (LDO) regulator.

Voltage Doubler
The voltage doubler ties directly to V
voltage in the range from +2.85V to +5.4V up to 5.7V to
10.8V at the V
off and the input voltage is passed directly to VDBL via an in-
pin. For VINabove 5.4V,the doubler shuts

The doubler contains four large CMOS switches which are
switched in a sequence to double the input supply voltage.

Shutdown and Load Disconnect
In addition to the nominal charge pump and regulator functions, the LM2686 features shutdown and load disconnect
circuitry. CE (chip enable) and SD (shutdown positive) perform the same task with opposite input polarities. When CE
is low or SD is high, all circuit blocks are disabled and V
falls to ground potential. This is the same result as when the
05
die temperature exceeds 150˚C, and the device’s internal
thermal shutdown is triggered.
The LM2686 incorporates a low impedance switch tied to the
V
output, because some special applications require load

Application Information
Capacitor Selection
The output resistance and ripple voltage are dependent on
the capacitance and ESR values of the external capacitors.
Voltage Doubler External Capacitors
The selection of capacitors are based on the specifications
of the dropout voltage (which equals I

MOSFET switches as shown in
Figure 2
.
The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple is determined by the
oscillator frequency, the capacitance and ESR of the capacitor C3.

on-resistance, the two external capacitors and their ESRs.
Low ESR capacitors (table to be referenced) are recom-
mended to maximize efficiency, reduce the output voltage
drop and voltage ripple.
+5 LDO Regulator External Capacitors
The voltage doubler output capacitor,C3, serves as the input
capacitor of the 5 LDO regulator. The output capacitor C4,
must meet the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and appropriate ESR (Equivalent Serving Resistance)
for proper operations. The ESR value must remain within the
regions of stability as shown in
5
to ensure output’s stability.A minimum capacitance of 1µF
is required at the output. This can be increased without limit,
but a 4.7µF tantalum capacitor is recommended for loads
ranging upto the maximum specification. In lighter loads of
less or equal to 10mA, ceramic capacitor of at least 1µF and
ESR in the milliohms can be used. This has to be connected
to V
pin instead of the V05pin.
PSW
Any output capacitor used should have a good tolerance
over temperature for capacitance and ESR values. The
larger the capacitor, with ESR within the stable region, the
better the stability and noise performance.
