BOOST
Frequency Boost. Connecting BOOST to V

increases the oscillator frequency by a factor of five.
When the oscillator is driven externally, BOOST has no effect and should be left open.

Detailed Description
The GS7660 is a charge-pump voltage converter. The
basic operations is as follows: Switch pairs S1, S2 and S3,
S4 (Fig.7) are alternately closed and opened at the rate of
the oscillator frequency divided by two.
During the first half of the cycle, when S1 and S2 are
closed and S3 and S4 are open, bucket capacitor C1 is
charged by input voltage. During the second half of the
cycle, when the switches assume the opposite state,
capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with output capacitor
C2 and any voltage differential causes a transfer of charge
from C1 to C2. This process will continue until the voltage
across C2 equals the

IN
voltage.
In normal operation, the output voltage will be less than
–
V
IN
, since the switches have internal resistance and C2 is
being discharged by the load.
