Features
♦ Adjustable Outputs
The dual low-power charge pumps independently regulate one positive output (VPOS) and one negative output
(VNEG). These additional outputs use external diode
and capacitor multiplier stages (as many stages as
required) to regulate output voltages up to +35V and
-35V.
The constant switching frequency and a proprietary
regulation algorithm minimize output ripple and capacitor sizes for all three charge pumps. The MAX1747 is
available in the ultra-thin TSSOP package (1.1mm max
height).
♦ Fast Transient Response
Up to +5.5V Main High-Power Output
Up to +35V Positive Charge-Pump Output
Down to -35V Negative Charge-Pump Output
♦ 200kHz to 2MHz Adjustable Switching Frequency
♦ +2.7V to +4.5V Input Supply
♦ Internal Power MOSFETs
♦ 0.1µA Shutdown Current
♦ Internal Soft-Start

MAX1747
General Description
The MAX1747 triple charge-pump DC-DC converter
provides the regulated voltages required by active
matrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal displays
(LCDs) in a low-profile TSSOP package. One highpower and two low-power charge pumps convert the
+2.7V to +4.5V input supply voltage into three independent output voltages.
The primary high-power charge pump generates an
output voltage (VOUT) between 4.5V and 5.5V that is
regulated within ±1%. The low-power BiCMOS control
circuitry and the low on-resistance (R ON ) power
MOSFETs maximize efficiency. The adjustable switching frequency (200kHz to 2MHz) provides fast transient
response and allows the use of small low-profile ceramic capacitors.

Detailed Description
The MAX1747 is an efficient triple-output power supply
for TFT LCD applications. The device contains one
high-power charge pump and two low-power charge
pumps. The MAX1747 charge pumps switch continuously at a constant frequency, so the output noise contains well-defined frequency components, and the
circuit requires much smaller external capacitors for a
8
given output ripple. The adjustable switching frequency
is set by the current into the shutdown pin (see
Frequency Selection and Shutdown).
The main charge pump uses internal MOSFETs with
low RON to provide high output current. The adjustable
output voltage of the main charge pump can be set up
to 5.5V with external resistors. The dual low-power
charge pumps independently regulate a positive output

(VPOS) and a negative output (VNEG). These two outputs use external diode and capacitor stages (as many
stages as required) to regulate output voltages above
+35V and under -35V.
A proprietary regulation algorithm minimizes output ripple as well as capacitor sizes for all three charge
pumps. Also included in the MAX1747 are a precision
1.25V reference that sources up to 50µA, shutdown,
power-up sequencing, fault detection, and an activelow open-drain ready output.
Main Charge Pump
During the first half-cycle, the MAX1747 charges the
flying capacitor (CX) by connecting it between the supply voltage (VSUPM) and ground (Figure 2). This initial
charge is controlled by the variable N-channel on-resistance. During the second half-cycle, the MAX1747 level
shifts the flying capacitor by stacking the voltage
across CX on top of the supply voltage. This transfers
the sum of the two voltages to the output capacitor
(COUT).
Dual Charge-Pump Regulators
The MAX1747 contains two individual low-power
charge pumps. Using a single stage, the first charge
pump inverts the supply voltage (VSUPN) and provides
a regulated negative output voltage. The second
charge pump doubles the supply voltage (VSUPP) and
provides a regulated positive output voltage. The
MAX1747 contains internal P-channel and N-channel
MOSFETs to control the power transfer. The internal
MOSFETs switch at a constant frequency set by the
current into the shutdown pin (see Frequency Selection
and Shutdown).

Figure 3. Negative Charge-Pump Block Diagram
Negative Charge Pump
During the first half-cycle, the P-channel MOSFET turns
on, and flying capacitor C5 charges to VSUPN minus a
diode drop (Figure 3). During the second half-cycle,
the P-channel MOSFET turns off, and the N-channel
MOSFET turns on, level shifting C5. This connects C5 in
parallel with the reservoir capacitor, C6. If the voltage
across C6 minus a diode drop is lower than the voltage
across C5, current flows from C5 to C6 until the diode
(D4) turns off. The amount of charge transferred to the
output is controlled by the variable N-channel RON.
Driving SHDN low forces all three MAX1747 converters
into shutdown mode. When disabled, the supply current drops to 20µA (max) to maximize battery life, and
OUT is pulled to ground through an internal 10Ω resistor. For the low-power charge pumps, the output
capacitance and load current determine the rate at
which each output voltage will decay. The device activates (see Power-up Sequencing) once SHDN is forward biased (minimum of 3µA of current). Do not leave
SHDN floating. For a typical application where shutdown is used only to set the switching frequency, connect SHDN to the input (V IN = 3.3V) with a 120kΩ
resistor for a 1MHz switching frequency.
The bias current into SHDN, programmed with an external resistor, determines the oscillator frequency (see
Typical Operating Characteristics). To select the frequency, calculate the external resistor value, RFREQ,
using the following formula:
RFREQ = 45.5 (MHz / mA) ✕ (VON – 0.7V) / fOSC
where RFREQ is in kΩ and fOSC is in MHz. Program the
frequency in the 200kHz to 2MHz range. This frequency range corresponds to SHDN input currents between
3µA to 65µA. Proper operation of the oscillator is not
guaranteed beyond these limits. Forcing SHDN below
400mV disables the device.
Positive Charge Pump
During the first half-cycle, the N-channel MOSFET turns
on and charges the flying capacitor, C3 (Figure 4). This
initial charge is controlled by the variable N-channel
R ON . During the second half-cycle, the N-channel
MOSFET turns off, and the P-channel MOSFET turns
on, level shifting C3 by VSUPP volts. This connects C3
in parallel with the reservoir capacitor, C4. If the voltage
across C4 plus a diode drop (VPOS + VDIODE) is smaller than the level-shifted flying capacitor voltage (VC3 +
VSUPP), charge flows from C3 to C4 until the diode (D2)
turns off.
Frequency Selection and Shutdown
The shutdown pin (SHDN) on the MAX1747 performs a
dual function: it shuts down the device and determines
the oscillator frequency. The SHDN input looks like a
diode to ground and should be driven through a resistor (Figure 5).

Soft-Start
For the MAX1747, soft-start is achieved by controlling
the rise rate of the output voltage, regardless of output
capacitance or output load, and limited only by the output impedance of the regulator (see Startup Waveforms

clock cycles (1/fOSC). The negative and positive lowpower charge pumps are controlled to be in regulation
within 2048 clock cycles.
active while the positive charge pump stops switching
and its output voltage decays, depending on output
capacitance and load. The positive charge-pump output will not power up until the negative charge-pump
output voltage rises above its power-up threshold (see
Power-Up Sequencing).
Power-Up Sequencing
Upon power-up or exiting shutdown, the MAX1747
starts a power-up sequence. First, the reference powers up. Then the primary charge pump powers up with
soft-start enabled. Once the main charge pump reaches 90% of its nominal value (VFB > 1.125V), the negative charge pump turns on. When the negative output
voltage reaches approximately 90% of its nominal value
(VFBN < 125mV), the positive charge pump starts up.
Finally, when the positive output voltage reaches 90%
of its nominal value (VFBP > 1.125V), the active-low
ready signal (RDY) goes low (see Power Ready).
Fault Detection
Once RDY is low, and if any output falls below its fault
detection threshold, RDY goes high impedance.
For the reference, the fault threshold is 1.05V. For the
main charge pump, the fault threshold is 88% of its
nominal value (VFB < 1.1V). For the negative charge
pump, the fault threshold is approximately 88% of its
nominal value (VFBN > 140mV). For the positive charge
pump, the fault threshold is 88% of its nominal value
(VFBP < 1.1V).
Once an output faults, all outputs later in the power
sequence shut down until the faulted output rises
above its power-up threshold. For example, if the negative charge-pump output voltage falls below the faultdetection threshold, the main charge pump remains
Power Ready
Power ready is an open-drain output. When the powerup sequence is properly completed, the MOSFET turns
on and pulls RDY low with a typical 125Ω RON. If a fault
is detected, the internal open-drain MOSFET appears
as a high impedance. Connect a 100kΩ pullup resistor
between RDY and IN for a logic level output.
Voltage Reference
The voltage at REF is nominally 1.25V. The reference
can source up to 50mA with excellent load regulation
(see Typical Operating Characteristics). Connect a
0.22µF bypass capacitor between REF and GND.
During shutdown, the reference is disabled.
Design Procedure
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency characteristics of the MAX1747 regulated charge pumps are similar to a linear regulator. They
are dominated by quiescent current at low output currents and by the input voltage at higher output currents
(see Typical Operating Characteristics). Therefore, the
maximum efficiency may be approximated by:
Efficiency ≅ VOUT / (2 ✕ VSUPM) for the main
charge pump
Efficiency ≅ - VNEG / (VSUPN ✕ N) for the negative
low-power charge pump
______________________________________________________________________________________
11
MAX1747
Triple Charge-Pump TFT LCD
DC-DC Converter
Efficiency ≅ VPOS / [VSUPP ✕ (N+1)] for the
positive low-power charge pump
where N is the number of charge-pump stages.
Output Voltage Selection
Adjust the main output voltage by connecting a voltage-divider from the output (VOUT) to FB and GND (see
Typical Operating Circuit). Adjust the negative lowpower output voltage by connecting a voltage-divider
from the output (VNEG) to FBN to REF. Adjust the positive low-power output voltage by connecting a voltagedivider from the output (VPOS) to FBP to GND. Select
R2, R4, and R6 in the 10kΩ to 200kΩ range. Calculate
the remaining resistors with the following equations:
R1 = R2 [(VOUT / VREF) – 1]
R3 = R4 [(VPOS / VREF) – 1]
R5 = R6 |VNEG / VREF|
where VREF = 1.25V. VOUT may range from 4.5V to
5.5V, VPOS may range from VSUPP to +35V, and VNEG
may range from 0 to -35V.
Flying Capacitors
Increasing the flying capacitor’s value increases the
output-current capability. Above a certain point, larger
capacitor values lower the secondary pole formed by
the transfer capacitor and switch RON, which destabilizes the output. For the main charge pump, use a
ceramic capacitor based on the following equation:
CX ≤
0.47µF × MHz
fOSC
For the low-power charge pumps, a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor works well in most applications. Smaller values may be used for lower current applications.
Component suppliers are listed in Table 1.
For the low-power charge pumps, the output capacitor
should be anywhere from 5-times to 20-times larger
than the flying capacitor, depending on the ripple tolerance. Increasing the output capacitance or decreasing
the ESR reduces the output ripple voltage and the
peak-to-peak transient voltage.
Input Capacitors
Using an input capacitor with a value equal to or
greater than the output capacitor is recommended.
Place the capacitor as close to the IC as possible. If the
source impedance or inductance of the input supply is
large, additional input bypassing may be required.
For the low-power charge-pump inputs (SUPN and
SUPP), using bypass capacitors with values equal to or
greater than the flying capacitors is recommended.
Place these capacitors as close to the supply voltage
inputs as possible.
Rectifier Diodes
Use Schottky diodes with a current rating greater than
4 times the average output current, and with a voltage
rating of 1.5 times VSUPP for the positive charge pump
and VSUPN for the negative charge pump.
Integrator Capacitor
The MAX1747 contains an internal current integrator
that improves the DC load regulation but increases the
peak-to-peak transient voltage (see Load-Transient
Waveform in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Connect a ceramic capacitor between INTG and GND
based on the following equation:
CINTG ≥

For the main charge pump, use a ceramic capacitor

For low-frequency applications (close to 200kHz),
selection of the output capacitor is limited solely by the
switching frequency. However, for high-frequency
applications (close to 2MHz), selection of the output
capacitor is limited by the secondary pole formed by
the flying capacitor and switch on-resistance.

PC Board Layout and Grounding
Careful printed circuit layout is important to minimize
ground bounce and noise. First, place the main chargepump flying capacitor less than 0.2in (5mm) from the
CXP and CXN pins with wide traces and no vias. Then
place 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors near the
charge-pump input pins (SUPP and SUPN) to the
PGND pin. Keep the charge-pump circuitry as close to
the IC as possible, using wide traces and avoiding vias
when possible. Locate all feedback resistive dividers as
close to their respective feedback pins as possible. The
