GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A Frequency Control (FC) input pin is used to select either
25 kHz or 120 kHz charge-pump operation. This is used to
optimize capacitor size and quiescent current. With 25 kHz
selected, a 10 µF external capacitor is suitable, while with
120 kHz the capacitor may be reduced to 2.2 µF. The oscillator
frequency on the ADM660 can also be controlled with an external capacitor connected to the OSC input or by driving this input with an external clock. In applications where a higher supply
voltage is desired it is possible to use the ADM660 to double
the input voltage. With input voltages from 2.5 V to 7 V, output
voltages from 5 V to 14 V are achievable with up to 100 mA
output current.

GND
FC
Input voltages ranging from +1.5 V to +7 V can be inverted into
a negative –1.5 V to –7 V output supply. This inverting scheme
is ideal for generating a negative rail in single power supply
systems. Only two small external capacitors are needed for the
charge pump. Output currents up to 50 mA with greater than
90% efficiency are achievable, while 100 mA achieves greater
than 80% efficiency.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Switched Capacitor Theory of Operation
The ADM660/ADM8660 is a switched capacitor voltage converter that can be used to invert the input supply voltage. The
ADM660 can also be used in a voltage doubling mode. The
voltage conversion task is achieved using a switched capacitor
technique using two external charge storage capacitors. An onboard oscillator and switching network transfers charge between
the charge storage capacitors. The basic principle behind the
voltage conversion scheme is illustrated in Figures 15 and 16.
As already described, the charge pump on the ADM660/
ADM8660 uses a switched capacitor technique in order to
invert or double the input supply voltage. Basic switched
capacitor theory is discussed below.

A switched capacitor building block is illustrated in Figure 17.
With the switch in position A, capacitor C1 will charge to voltage V1. The total charge stored on C1 is q1 = C1V1. The
switch is then flipped to position B discharging C1 to voltage
V2. The charge remaining on C1 is q2 = C1V2. The charge
transferred to the output V2 is, therefore, the difference between q1 and q2, so ∆q = q1–q2 = C1 (V1–V2).

As the switch is toggled between A and B at a frequency f, the
charge transfer per unit time or current is
I = f (∆q) = f (C1)(V1 – V 2)
Φ2
Therefore
I = (V1 – V 2)/(1 / fC1) = (V1 – V 2)/(R EQ )
Figure 16. Voltage Doubling Principle
Figure 15 shows the voltage inverting configuration, while Figure
16 shows the configuration for voltage doubling. An oscillator
generating antiphase signals φ1 and φ2 controls switches S1, S2
and S3, S4. During φ1, switches S1 and S2 are closed charging
C1 up to the voltage at V+. During φ2, S1 and S2 open and S3
and S4 close. With the voltage inverter configuration during φ2,
the positive terminal of C1 is connected to GND via S3 and the
negative terminal of C1 connects to VOUT via S4. The net result
is voltage inversion at VOUT wrt GND. Charge on C1 is transferred to C2 during φ2. Capacitor C2 maintains this voltage
during φ1. The charge transfer efficiency depends on the onresistance of the switches, the frequency at which they are being
switched and also on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of
the external capacitors. The reason for this is explained in the
following section. For maximum efficiency, capacitors with low
ESR are, therefore, recommended.
where REQ = 1/fC1
The switched capacitor may, therefore, be replaced by an
equivalent resistance whose value is dependent on both the
capacitor size and the switching frequency. This explains why
lower capacitor values may be used with higher switching frequencies. It should be remembered that as the switching frequency is increased the power consumption will increase due to
some charge being lost at each switching cycle. As a result, at high
frequencies the power efficiency starts decreasing. Other losses
include the resistance of the internal switches and the equivalent
series resistance (ESR) of the charge storage capacitors.

Figures 19 and 20 show the ADM660/ADM8660 configured to

1.5 V up to 7 V are allowable. For supply voltage less than 3 V,
LV must be connected to GND. This bypasses the internal
regulator circuitry and gives best performance in low voltage
applications. With supply voltages greater than 3 V, LV may
be either connected to GND or left open. Leaving it open facilitates direct substitution for the ICL7660.

OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY
Note that the ADM8660 cannot be used in the voltage
doubling configuration.
The internal charge-pump frequency may be selected to be
either 25 kHz or 120 kHz using the Frequency Control (FC)
input. With FC unconnected (ADM660) or connected to GND
(ADM8660), the internal charge pump runs at 25 kHz while, if
FC is connected to V+, the frequency is increased by a factor of
five. Increasing the frequency allows smaller capacitors to be
used for equivalent performance or, if the capacitor size is unchanged, it results in lower output impedance and ripple.

The ADM8660 contains a shutdown input that can be used to
disable the device and hence reduce the power consumption. A
logic high level on the SD input shuts the device down reducing
the quiescent current to 0.3 µA. During shutdown the output
voltage goes to 0 V. Therefore, ground referenced loads are
not powered during this state. When exiting shutdown it takes
several cycles (approximately 500 µs) for the charge pump to
reach its final value. If the shutdown function is not being used,
then SD should be hardwired to GND.
Capacitor Selection
The optimum capacitor value selection depends the chargepump frequency. With 25 kHz selected, 10 µF capacitors are
recommended, while with 120 kHz selected, 2.2 µF capacitors
may be used. Other frequencies allow other capacitor values to
be used. For maximum efficiency in all cases, it is recommended
that capacitors with low ESR are used for the charge pump.
Low ESR capacitors give both the lowest output resistance and
lowest ripple voltage. High output resistance degrades the overall
power efficiency and causes voltage drops, especially at high

Bypass Capacitor
The ac impedance of the ADM660/ADM8660 may be reduced
by using a bypass capacitor on the input supply. This capacitor
should be connected between the input supply and GND. It
will provide instantaneous current surges as required. Suitable
capacitors of 0.1 µF or greater may be used.
OUTLINE DIMENSIONS
Figure 23 shows how the output resistance varies with oscillator
frequency for three different capacitor values. At low oscillator
frequencies, the output impedance is dominated by the 1/fC
term. This explains why the output impedance is higher for
smaller capacitance values. At high oscillator frequencies, the
1/fC term becomes insignificant and the output impedance is
dominated by the internal switches on resistance. From an output impedance viewpoint, therefore, there is no benefit to be
gained from using excessively large capacitors.

output current levels. The ADM660/ADM8660 is tested using
low ESR, 10 µF, capacitors for both C1 and C2. Smaller values
of C1 increase the output resistance, while increasing C1 will reduce the output resistance. The output resistance is also dependent on the internal switches on resistance as well as the
capacitors ESR so the effect of increasing C1 becomes negligible
past a certain point.

Capacitor C2
The output capacitor size C2 affects the output ripple. Increasing the capacitor size reduces the peak-peak ripple. The ESR
affects both the output impedance and the output ripple.
Reducing the ESR reduces the output impedance and ripple.
For convenience it is recommended that both C1 and C2 be the
same value.

Power Efficiency and Oscillator Frequency Tradeoff

While higher switching frequencies allow smaller capacitors to
be used for equivalent performance, or improved performance
with the same capacitors, there is a tradeoff to be considered. As
the oscillator frequency is increased, the quiescent current increases. This happens as a result of a finite charge being lost at
each switching cycle. The charge loss per unit cycle at very high
frequencies can be significant, thereby reducing the power efficiency. Since the power efficiency is also degraded at low oscillator frequencies, due to an increase in output impedance, this
means that there is an optimum frequency band for maximum
power transfer. Please refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
