LM2781 Ultra-Low Ripple Switched Capacitor Voltage Inverter General Description Features The LM2781 is a charge pump that inverts an input voltage in the range of 1.8V to 5.5V to the corresponding output voltage of -1.8V to -5.5V. With use of three or four low-cost external ceramic capacitors, the LM2781 can provide up to 50mA of output current. The LM2781 operates at a 210kHz typical switching frequency to minimize supply current (0.7mA typ.). Two charge pumps operate 180˚ out of phase to significantly reduce the output voltage ripple compared to that of traditional singlephase charge pump circuits. If larger output ripple can be tolerated, optional capacitor C2 may be omitted to reduce the cost and size of the solution. The LM2781 is available in an 8-pin Micro SMD chip-scale package.

Operation Description The LM2781 is a switched capacitor voltage inverter that produces a negative output voltage from a positive input voltage. To minimize output voltage ripple, the LM2781 contains two charge pump inverters that operate 180˚ out of phase. These two charge pumps can be seen in the block diagram above. A basic switched capacitor inverter is a two-phase charge pump circuit that transfers charge from the input to the output using a flying capacitor. Charge Pump 1 in the block diagram will be used to illustrate the operation of a single charge pump. Disregard Charge Pump 2 in the diagram for now. In phase 1 (φ1), the CLK1A signal of Charge Pump 1 is high, and MOSFET switches S1A and S1B are ON. For Charge Pump 1, this is the charge phase, as the flying capacitor C1 is charged to the input voltage. In the second phase (φ2), the positive-charged plate of C1 is connected to GND through switch S1C, and the negative-charged plate is connected to the output through switch S1D. This results in the output voltage being approximately equal in magnitude to the input voltage, but opposite in sign (VOUT ~= - VIN). In this pump phase, charge stored on the flying capacitor supplies the current to the load and transfers charge to the output capacitor. This basic inverter has ripple in the output voltage. During the charge phase, the load current is supplied by the charge on the output capacitor. As charge is pulled off COUT, the voltage across the capacitor drops, and the magnitude of the output voltage ( |VOUT| ) falls. During the pump phase, the The LM2781 contains two charge pump inverters running 180˚ out of phase. Notice in the block diagram that the clock connections on Charge Pump 2 are opposite of the clock connections to Charge Pump 1. Thus, when Charge Pump 1 is in the charge phase, Charge Pump 2 is in the pump phase, and vice-versa. With this double-pump technology, there is always a flying capacitor connected to the output. This results in significantly lower output voltage ripple than that of a single-pump inverter. OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE Several factors influence the magnitude of voltage ripple on the output of the LM2781. Primary influences are output capacitance, flying capacitance, load current, input voltage, and output capacitor ESR. The magnitude of the output voltage ripple is difficult to predict with equations when the LM2781 is double pumping. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristic curves for this information. In general, ripple decreases with increased output capacitance, decreased load current, a lower input voltage, a smaller flying capacitance and/or a smaller output capacitor ESR. When only one charge pump is active (C2 removed), the output ripple is more predictable, and can be estimated with the following equation: VRIPPLE = [(0.5xIOUT) / (fSWxCOUT) ] + (2xIOUTxESRCout) 5 www.national.com LM2781 Operation Description CAPACITOR SELECTION Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended for use with the LM2781. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR, < 15mΩ typ.). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors generally are not recommended for use with the LM2781 due to their high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors. For most applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for use with the LM2781. These capacitors have tight capacitance tolerance (as good as ± 10%), hold their value over temperature (X7R: ± 15% over -55˚C to 125˚C; X5R: ± 15% over -55˚C to 85˚C), and typically have little voltage coefficient. (Continued) OUTPUT RESISTANCE Output resistance (ROUT) models the internal non-idealities of a charge pump that result in droop in the output voltage. The effect of output resistance on output voltage is expressed in the following equation: VOUT = - [VIN - ( |IOUT| x ROUT )] Output resistance is a function of the internal switch resistance (RSW) , flying capacitance (C1), flying capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESRC1), output capacitor ESR (ESRCout), and internal switching frequency (fSW). When the LM2781 operates as a single charge pump (C2 removed), the output resistance can be approximated by the following equation: 1 Fly Cap: ROUT1 ~= 2RSW1+[1/(fSW*C1)]+4ESRC1+ESRCout RSW1 is the sum of the ON resistance of the four internal MOSFET switches of Charge Pump 1. Capacitors with Y5V and/or Z5U temperature characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the LM2781. These types of capacitors typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, -20%), vary significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, -82% over -30˚C to +85˚C range; Z5U: +22%, -56% over +10˚C to +85˚C range), and have poor voltage coefficients. Under some conditions, a nominal 1µF Y5V or Z5U capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1µF. Such deviation would severely affect performance of the LM2781 circuit. With both C1 and C2 in place, the double pumping topology of the LM2781 cuts the output resistance in half: 2 Fly Caps: ROUT2 ~= 0.5xROUT1 Recommendations for minimizing output resistance include increasing flying capacitance and minimizing output and flying capacitor ESR. www.national.com 6 LM2781 Ultra-Low Ripple Switched Capacitor Voltage Inverter Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted TPA08: 8-Bump Thin Micro SMD X1 = X2 = 1.361mm ± 0.030mm X3 = 0.500mm ± 0.075mm LIFE SUPPORT POLICY NATIONAL’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
