MAX660
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
General Description
Features
The MAX660 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter inverts
a positive voltage in the range of 1.5V to 5.5V to the corresponding negative voltage. The MAX660 uses two low cost
capacitors to provide 100 mA of output current without the
cost, size, and EMI related to inductor based converters.
With an operating current of only 120 µA and operating efficiency greater than 90% at most loads, the MAX660 provides ideal performance for battery powered systems. The
MAX660 may also be used as a positive voltage doubler.
The oscillator frequency can be lowered by adding an external capacitor to the OSC pin. Also, the OSC pin may be used
to drive the MAX660 with an external clock. A frequency control (FC) pin selects the oscillator frequency of 10 kHz or 80
kHz.

Circuit Description
Application Information
The MAX660 contains four large CMOS switches which are
switched in a sequence to invert the input supply voltage.
Energy transfer and storage are provided by external capacitors. Figure 2 illustrates the voltage conversion scheme.
When S1 and S3 are closed, C1 charges to the supply voltage V+. During this time interval switches S2 and S4 are
open. In the second time interval, S1 and S3 are open and S2
and S4 are closed, C1 is charging C2. After a number of
cycles, the voltage across C2 will be pumped to V+. Since
the anode of C2 is connected to ground, the output at the
cathode of C2 equals −(V+) assuming no load on C2, no loss
in the switches, and no ESR in the capacitors. In reality, the
charge transfer efficiency depends on the switching frequency, the on-resistance of the switches, and the ESR of
the capacitors.
SIMPLE NEGATIVE VOLTAGE CONVERTER
The main application of MAX660 is to generate a negative
supply voltage. The voltage inverter circuit uses only two external capacitors as shown in the Typical Application Circuits.
The range of the input supply voltage is 1.5V to 5.5V. For a
supply voltage less than 3.5V, the LV pin must be connected
to ground to bypass the internal regulator circuitry. This gives
the best performance in low voltage applications. If the supply voltage is greater than 3.5V, LV may be connected to
ground or left open. The choice of leaving LV open simplifies
the direct substitution of the MAX660 for the LMC7660
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter.
The output characteristics of this circuit can be approximated
by an ideal voltage source in series with a resistor. The voltage source equals −(V+). The output resistance Rout is a
function of the ON resistance of the internal MOS switches,
the oscillator frequency, and the capacitance and ESR of C1
and C2. A good approximation is:
where RSW is the sum of the ON resistance of the internal
MOS switches shown in Figure 2.
High value, low ESR capacitors will reduce the output resistance. Instead of increasing the capacitance, the oscillator
frequency can be increased to reduce the 2/(fosc x C1) term.
Once this term is trivial compared with RSW and ESRs, further increasing in oscillator frequency and capacitance will
become ineffective.
The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple is determined by the
oscillator frequency, and the capacitance and ESR of the
output capacitor C2:

Application Information
lows smaller capacitors to be used for equivalent output resistance and ripple, but increases the typical supply current
from 0.12 mA to 1 mA.
(Continued)
The oscillator frequency can be lowered by adding an external capacitor between OSC and GND. (See Typical Performance Characteristics.) Also, in the inverter mode, an external clock that swings within 100 mV of V+ and GND can be
used to drive OSC. Any CMOS logic gate is suitable for driving OSC. LV must be grounded when driving OSC. The
maximum external clock frequency is limited to 150 kHz.
Again, using a low ESR capacitor will result in lower ripple.
POSITIVE VOLTAGE DOUBLER
The MAX660 can operate as a positive voltage doubler (as
shown in the Typical Application Circuits). The doubling function is achieved by reversing some of the connections to the
device. The input voltage is applied to the GND pin with an
allowable voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V. The V+ pin is used as
the output. The LV pin and OUT pin must be connected to
ground. The OSC pin can not be driven by an external clock
in this operation mode. The unloaded output voltage is twice
of the input voltage and is not reduced by the diode D1’s forward drop.
The switching frequency of the converter (also called the
charge pump frequency) is half of the oscillator frequency.
Note: OSC cannot be driven by an external clock in the
voltage-doubling mode.
TABLE 1. MAX660 Oscillator Frequency Selection
The Schottky diode D1 is only needed for start-up. The internal oscillator circuit uses the V+ pin and the LV pin (connected to ground in the voltage doubler circuit) as its power
rails. Voltage across V+ and LV must be larger than 1.5V to
insure the operation of the oscillator. During start-up, D1 is
used to charge up the voltage at V+ pin to start the oscillator;
also, it protects the device from turning-on its own parasitic
diode and potentially latching-up. Therefore, the Schottky diode D1 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.

CAPACITOR SELECTION
As discussed in the Simple Negative Voltage Converter 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
SPLIT V+ IN HALF
Another interesting application shown in the Basic Application Circuits is using the MAX660 as a precision voltage divider. Since the off-voltage across each switch equals VIN/2,
the input voltage can be raised to +11V.
Where IQ(V+) is the quiescent power loss of the IC device,
and IL2ROUT is the conversion loss associated with the
switch on-resistance, the two external capacitors and their
ESRs.
Since the switching current charging and discharging C1 is
approximately twice as the output current, the effect of the
ESR of the pumping capacitor C1 is multiplied by four in the
output resistance. The output capacitor C2 is charging and
discharging at a current approximately equal to the output
current, therefore, its ESR only counts once in the output resistance. However, the ESR of C2 directly affects the output
voltage ripple. Therefore, low ESR capacitors (Table 2) are
recommended for both capacitors to maximize efficiency, reduce the output voltage drop and voltage ripple. For convenience, C1 and C2 are usually chosen to be the same.
The output resistance varies with the oscillator frequency
and the capacitors. In Figure 4, the output resistance vs. oscillator frequency curves are drawn for three different tantalum capacitors. At very low frequency range, capacitance
plays the most important role in determining the output resistance. Once the frequency is increased to some point (such
as 20 kHz for the 150 µF capacitors), the output resistance is
dominated by the ON resistance of the internal switches and
the ESRs of the external capacitors. A low value, smaller
size capacitor usually has a higher ESR compared with a
bigger size capacitor of the same type. For lower ESR, use
ceramic capacitors.

PARALLELING DEVICES
Any number of MAX660s can be paralleled to reduce the output resistance. Each device must have its own pumping capacitor
C1, while only one output capacitor Cout is needed as shown in Figure 5. The composite output resistance is:
DS100898-7
FIGURE 5. Lowering Output Resistance by Paralleling Devices
CASCADING DEVICES
Cascading the is an easy way to produce a greater negative voltage (as shown in Figure 6). If n is the integer representing the
number of devices cascaded, the unloaded output voltage Vout is (−nVin). The effective output resistance is equal to the weighted
sum of each individual device:

Other Applications
(Continued)
A three-stage cascade circuit shown in Figure 7 generates −3Vin, from Vin.
Cascading is also possible when devices are operating in doubling mode. In Figure 8, two devices are cascaded to generate 3Vin.
An example of using the circuit in Figure 7 or Figure 8 is generating +15V or −15V from a +5V input.
Note that the number of n is practically limited since the increasing of n significantly reduces the efficiency and increases the output resistance and output voltage ripple.

REGULATING Vout
It is possible to regulate the output of the MAX660 by use of a low dropout regulator (such as LP2951). The whole converter is
depicted in Figure 9. This converter can give a regulated output from −1.5V to −5.5V by choosing the proper resistor ratio:
where Vref = 1.235V.

Also, as shown in Figure 10 by operating MAX660 in voltage doubling mode and adding a linear regulator (such as LP2981) at
the output, we can get +5V output from an input as low as +3V.
