The ESR of the charge pump capacitors also
determine the output resistance. Assuming that
switch resistances are approximately equal, the
output resistance can be derived as shown be-

The output voltage ripple is also affected by the
capacitors, specifically C
. Larger values
will reduce the output ripple for a given load of
current. The formula representation is:

SHUTDOWN FEATURE
The
SP682
charge pump includes a shutdown
feature (pin 8) which disables the charge pump
when the V
is not needed. A logic "1" will
activate the shutdown. If shutdown is not needed,
it can be left open where an internal pull-down
resistor will always keep the charge pump ac-
tive. Typical input current for the shutdown pin
is 3
μ
A. The shutdown feature is another option
for conserving power in portable applications.
PARALLEL DEVICES
Multiple
SP682
charge pumps can be connected
in parallel. However, the effective output resis-
tance now is the output resistance of a single
device divided by the number of devices. Con-
necting multiple pumps allows the user to save
on the storage capacitor. The charge pump
capacitors still must be separate for each device.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The
SP682
charge pump produces a doubled,
inverted voltage from the V
input. As such, it
can serve in many applications where a negative
–5V to –10V output is needed. Typical applica-
tions include powering analog switches, and
biasing LCD displays and panels.
