LM2766

Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter

General Description

The LM2766 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter oper-

ates as a voltage doubler for an input voltage in the range of

+1.8V to +5.5V. Two low cost capacitors and a diode are

used in this circuit to provide up to 20 mA of output current.

The LM2766 operates at 200 kHz switching frequency to

reduce output resistance and voltage ripple. With an operat-

ing current of only 350 µA (operating efficiency greater than

90% with most loads) and 0.1µA typical shutdown current,

the LM2766 provides ideal performance for battery powered

systems. The device is manufactured in a SOT-23-6 pack-

age.

Circuit Description

The LM2766 contains four large CMOS switches which are

switched in a sequence to double the input supply voltage.

Energy transfer and storage are provided by external capaci-

tors. Figure 2 illustrates the voltage conversion scheme.

When S

and S

are closed, C

charges to the supply

voltage V+. During this time interval, switches S

and S

are

open. In the next time interval, S

and S

are open; at the

same time, S

and S

are closed, the sum of the input

voltage V+ and the voltage across C

gives the 2V+ output

voltage when there is no load. The output voltage drop when

a load is added is determined by the parasitic resistance

ds(on)

of the MOSFET switches and the ESR of the capaci-

tors) and the charge transfer loss between capacitors. De-

tails will be discussed in the following application information

section.

Application Information

POSITIVE VOLTAGE DOUBLER

The main application of the LM2766 is to double the input

voltage. 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 2V+. The output resistance R

out

is a

function of the ON resistance of the internal MOSFET

switches, the oscillator frequency, and the capacitance and

ESR of C

and C

. Since the switching current charging and

discharging C

is approximately twice as the output current,

the effect of the ESR of the pumping capacitor C

will be

multiplied by four in the output resistance. The output ca-

pacitor C

is charging and discharging at a current approxi-

mately equal to the output current, therefore, its ESR only

counts once in the output resistance. A good approximation

of R

out

is:

where R

is the sum of the ON resistance of the internal

MOSFET switches shown in Figure 2. R

is typically 8Ωfor

the LM2766.

The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple is determined by the

oscillator frequency as well as the capacitance and ESR of

the output capacitor C

High capacitance, low ESR capacitors can reduce both the

output resistance and the voltage ripple.

The Schottky diode D

is only needed to protect the device

from turning-on its own parasitic diode and potentially

latching-up. During start-up, D

will also quickly charge up

the output capacitor to V

minus the diode drop thereby

decreasing the start-up time. Therefore, the Schottky diode

should have enough current carrying capability to charge

the output capacitor at start-up, as well as a low forward

voltage to prevent the internal parasitic diode from turning-

on. A Schottky diode like 1N5817 can be used for most

applications. If the input voltage ramp is less than 10V/ms, a

smaller Schottky diode like MBR0520LT1 can be used to

reduce the circuit size.

SHUTDOWN MODE

A shutdown (SD) pin is available to disable the device and

reduce the quiescent current to 0.1 µA. In normal operating

mode, the SD pin is connected to V+. The device can be

brought into the shutdown mode by applying to the SD pin a

voltage less than 20% of the V+ pin voltage.

CAPACITOR SELECTION

As discussed in the Positive Voltage Doubler 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 I

(V+) is the quiescent power loss of the IC device,

and I

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

out

), the output volt-

age 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 LM2766s can be paralleled to reduce the

output resistance. Each device must have its own pumping

capacitor C

, while only one output capacitor C

out

is needed

as shown in Figure 3. The composite output resistance is:

CASCADING DEVICES

Cascading the LM2766s is an easy way to produce a greater

voltage (A two-stage cascade circuit is shown in Figure 4).

The effective output resistance is equal to the weighted sum

of each individual device:

out

= 1.5R

out_1

out_2

Note that increasing the number of cascading stages is

pracitically limited since it significantly reduces the efficiency,

increases the output resistance and output voltage ripple.

REGULATING V

OUT

It is possible to regulate the output of the LM2766 by use of

a low dropout regulator (such as LP2980-5.0). The whole

converter is depicted in Figure 5.

A different output voltage is possible by use of LP2980-3.3,

LP2980-3.0, or LP2980-adj.
