The SC1462 is a versatile charge pump designed for
use in battery operated power supply applications over
the wide input range of 1.65 to 5.5 volts. A simple, low
quiescent current charge pump doubler can be implemented without costly inductors or capacitors. Internal
MOSFETs and control circuitry eliminate the need for
costly board space and design time. The small 6 lead
SOT-23 package helps minimize board space.

The SC1462 utilizes a switched capacitor charge
pump, to generate an output voltage approximately
2xVin.
An internal oscillator generates two out of phase
fixed frequency clock signals which turn on and off
internal MOSFET switches. During phase1 of clock,
the flying charge pump capacitor is charged to Vin
through switches S1, and S2. During phase2 the
flying charge pump capacitor is connected in ser ies
with the input voltage via S3, and S4, producing an
output voltage.

OUTPUT CURRENT
The dropout voltage for a charge pump doubler is
defined as 2*Vin-Vout. The maxim um output current
is usually specified as that which will not cause the
dropout voltage to exceed the requirements of the
application. The calculation of the dropout voltage is
given in the capacitor selection section on page 7.
Typical dropout voltages versus Iout are graphed on
page 8.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The thermal shutdown circuit provides added protection to the SC1462. During a V
tion or if the load is exc essive , the over temperature
circuitry will shut down the charge pump if the junction
temperature exceeds approximately 140°C. The
charge pump is enabled only if the junction tem perature drops to approximately 120°C. The SC1462 will
cycle in and out of thermal shut down until the short
circuit or the excessive load condition on Vout is
removed, therby improving device reliability. The junction temperature can be calculated fr om the f ollowing
formula if the ambient temperature (Ta) and the
charge pump power dissipation (Pdiss) are known.

Capacitor selection is based on both the maximum
acceptable ripple voltage and the maxim um toler able
drop at the output.
Ripple
The peak to peak output ripple voltage is dependent
on the following factors:
1- Oscillator Frequency
2- ESR of C
3- Capacitance value of C
Item 1 is fixed and depend on the charge pump device used. Item 2, and 3 can be optimized for best
performance and reduction of the output ripple.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
Standard power board layout should followed to ensure proper operation. Any stray inductance should
be minimized, this can be achieved by using large
power planes or traces, and reducing the distances
between input, output and the load. All components
should be placed as close as possible to the SC1462.
Following tables show typical capacitor characteristics, and capacitor manufactures.
The voltage drop at the output is specified with the
following equation:
Vout_drop = Iout * Rout
Rout is dependent on the following factors:

2- ESR of C
