General Description:
The TC962 is an advanced version of the industry
standard TC7662 high voltage DC-to-DC converter.
Using improved design techniques and CMOS
construction, the TC96 2 can sourc e as much as 80 mA
versus the 7662’s 20 mA capability.
As an inverter, the TC962 can put out voltages as high
as 18V and as low as 3V without the need for external
diodes. The output impedance of the device is a low
28 (with the proper capacitors), voltage conversion
efficiency is 99.9%, and power conversion efficiency is
97%.
The low voltage terminal (pin 6) required in some
TC7662 applications has been eliminated. Grounding
this terminal will double the oscill ator frequency fro m 12
kHz to 24 kHz. This will allow the use of smaller
capacitors for the same output current and ripple, in
most applications. Only two external capacitors are
required for inverter applications. In the event an
external clock is needed to drive the TC962 (such as
paralleling), driving this pin directly will cause the
internal oscillator to sync to the external clock.
Pin 1, which is used as a test pin on the 7662, is a
voltage reference Zener on the TC962. This Zener (6.4V
at 5 mA) has a dynamic impedance of 12 and is
intended for use where the TC962 is supplying current to
external regulator circuitry and a reference is needed for
the regulator circuit. (See Section 3.0 “ApplicationsInformation” Applications Information).
The TC962 is compatible with the LTC1044, SI7661
and ICL7662. It should be used in designs that require
greater power and/or less input to output voltage drop.
It offers superior performance over the ICL7660S.

3.0APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3.1Theory of Operation
The TC962 is a capacitive pump (sometimes called a
switched capacitor circuit), where four MOSFET
switches control the charge and discharge of a
capacitor.
The functional block diag ram sho w s how the switc hing
action works. SW1 and SW2 are turned on simultaneously, charging C
assumes that the on resistance of the MOSFETs in
series with the capacitor results in a charging time
(3 time constants) that is less than the on tim e provided
by the oscillator frequency as shown:
3 (R
DS(ON) CP
In the next cycle, SW1 and SW2 are turned off and af ter
a very short interval of all switches being off (this
prevents large currents from occurring due to cross
conduction), SW3 and SW4 are turn ed o n. Th e c harg e
is then transferred to CR, but with the polarity
in C
P
inverted. In this way, a negative voltage is now derived.
An oscillator supplies pulses to a flip-flop that is then
fed to a set of level shifters. These level shifters then
drive each set of switches at one-half the oscillator
frequency.
The oscillator has two pins that control the frequency of
oscillation. Pin 7 can have a capacitor added that is
returned to ground. This w ill lo w er th e freq uen cy of th e
oscillator by adding cap acit ance to th e timing c apa citor
internal to the TC962. Grounding pin 6 will turn on a
to the supply voltage, VIN. This
P

)
current source and double the frequency. This will
double the charge current going into the internal
capacitor, as well as any capacitor added to pin 7.
A Zener diode has been a dded to the TC962 fo r use as
a reference in building external regulators. This Zener
runs from pin 1 to ground.
3.2Latch-Up
All CMOS structures contain a parasitic SCR. Care
must be taken to preven t any input from going ab ove or
below the supply rail, or latch-up will occur. The result
of latch-up is an effective short between V
Unless the power supply input has a current limit, this
latch-up phenomena will result in damage to the
device. (See AN763, Latch-up Protection for MOSFETDrivers.)
