GENERAL DESCRIPTION
■
■
■
The TC7662A is a pin-compatible upgrade to the Industry standard TC7660 charge pump voltage converter. It
converts a +3V to +18V input to a corresponding – 3V to
-18V output using only two low-cost capacitors, eliminating
inductors and their associated cost, size and EMI. In addition to a wider power supply input range (3V to 18V versus
1.5V to 10V for the TC7660), the TC7662A can source
output currents as high as 40mA. The on-board oscillator
operates at a nominal frequency of 12kHz. Operation below 10kHz (for lower supply current applications) is also
possible by connecting an external capacitor from OSC to
ground.
The TC7662A directly is recommended for designs
requiring greater output current and/or lower input/output
voltage drop. It is available in 8-pin DIP packages in commercial and extended temperature ranges.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
The TC7662A is a capacitive charge pump (sometimes called a switched-capacitor circuit), where four
MOSFET switches control the charge and discharge of a
capacitor.
The functional diagram (page 1) shows how the switching action works. SW1 and SW2 are turned on simultaneously, charging C1 to the supply voltage, VDD. This
assumes that the ON resistance of the MOSFETs in series
with the capacitor produce a charging time (3 time constants) less than the ON time provided by the oscillator
frequency, as shown:
3 (RDS(ON) C1) <C1/(0.5 fOSC).
In the next cycle, SW1 and SW2 are turned OFF and,
after a very short interval with all switches OFF (preventing
large currents from occurring due to cross conduction),
SW3 and SW4 are turned ON. The charge in C1 is then
transferred to COUT, BUT WITH THE POLARITY INVERTED. In this way, a negative voltage is derived.
An oscillator supplies pulses to a flip-flop that is fed to a
set of level shifters. These level shifters then drive each set
of switches at one-half the oscillator frequency.
The oscillator has a pin that controls the frequency of
oscillation. Pin 7 can have a capacitor added that is connected to ground. This will lower the frequency of the
oscillator by adding capacitance to the internal timing capacitor of the TC7662A. (See Oscillator Frequency vs. CEXT,
page 5.)
Capacitors
In early charge pump converters, capacitors were not
considered critical due to the high RDS(ON) of the MOSFET
switches. In order to understand this, let’s look at a model of
a typical electrolytic capacitor (Figure 1).

Capacitor Equivalent Circuit
Note one of its characteristics is ESR (equivalent series
resistance). This parasitic resistance winds up in series with
the load. Thus, both voltage and power conversion efficiency are compromised if a low ESR capacitor is not used.
For example, in the "Test Circuit", changing CP and CR
capacitors from typical ESR to low ESR types, the effective
converter output impedance changed from 45Ω to 40Ω, an
improvement of 12%.
This applies to all types of capacitors, including film
types (polyester, polycarbonate etc.).
Some applications information suggests that the capacitor is not critical and attributes the limiting factor to the
capacitor's reactance value. Let's examine this:
XC =
X
1
and ZC = C ,
DS
2πf C
where DS (duty cycle) = 50%.
Thus, ZC ≈ 1.33Ω at f = 12kHz, where C = 10 µF.
For the TC7662A, f = 12,000Hz, and a typical value of
C would be 10 µF. This is a reactive impedance of ≈1.33Ω.
If the ESR is as great as 5Ω, the reactive value is not as
critical as it would first appear, since the ESR would dominate.
The 5Ω value is typical of a general-purpose electrolytic
capacitor.

Synchronizing
The TC7662A may be synchronized by connecting pin
7 of the TC7662A through a 100k resistor in series with a
diode to a negative-going pulse source. The negative pulse
voltage can be +5V with a 5 microsecond duration going
negative to 0V.
