Switched-Capacitor Voltage Doublers
____________________________Features
The ultra-small MAX1682/MAX1683 monolithic, CMOS
charge-pump voltage doublers accept input voltages
ranging from +2.0V to +5.5V. Their high voltage-conversion efficiency (over 98%) and low operating current
(110µA for MAX1682) make these devices ideal for
both battery-powered and board-level voltage-doubler
applications.
♦ 5-Pin SOT23 Package
Oscillator control circuitry and four power MOSFET
switches are included on-chip. The MAX1682 operates
at 12kHz, and the MAX1683 operates at 35kHz. A typical application includes generating a 6V supply to
power an LCD display in a hand-held PDA. Both parts
are available in a 5-pin SOT23 package and can deliver
30mA with a typical voltage drop of 600mV.
♦ Up to 45mA Output Current
♦ +2.0V to +5.5V Input Voltage Range
♦ 98% Voltage-Conversion Efficiency
♦ 110µA Quiescent Current (MAX1682)
♦ Requires Only Two Capacitors

Efficiency Considerations
The power efficiency of a switched-capacitor voltage
converter is affected by three factors: the internal losses
in the converter IC, the resistive losses of the capacitors,
and the conversion losses during charge transfer
between the capacitors. The total power loss is:
ΣPLOSS = PINTERNAL LOSSES
+ PPUMP CAPACITOR LOSSES
+ PCONVERSION LOSSES

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1682/MAX1683 capacitive charge pumps
double the voltage applied to their input. Figure 1
shows a simplified functional diagram of an ideal voltage doubler. During the first half-cycle, switches S1
and S2 close, and capacitor C1 charges to VIN. During
the second half cycle, S1 and S2 open, S3 and S4
close, and C1 is level shifted upward by VIN volts. This
connects C1 to the reservoir capacitor C2, allowing
energy to be delivered to the output as necessary. The
actual voltage is slightly lower than 2 x V IN , since
switches S1–S4 have resistance and the load drains
charge from C2.
Charge-Pump Output
The MAX1682/MAX1683 have a finite output resistance
of about 20Ω (Table 2). As the load current increases,
the devices’ output voltage (VOUT) droops. The droop
equals the current drawn from VOUT times the circuit’s
output impedance (RS), as follows:
VDROOP = IOUT x RS
VOUT = 2 x VIN - VDROOP
The internal losses are associated with the IC’s internal
functions, such as driving the switches, oscillator, etc.
These losses are affected by operating conditions such
as input voltage, temperature, and frequency.
The next two losses are associated with the voltage
converter circuit’s output resistance. Switch losses
occur because of the on-resistance of the MOSFET
switches in the IC. Charge-pump capacitor losses
occur because of their ESR. The relationship between
these losses and the output resistance is as follows:
PPUMP CAPACITOR LOSSES + PSWITCH LOSSES =
IOUT

where fOSC is the oscillator frequency. The first term is

_____________________Pin Description
MAX1682/MAX1683
Switched-Capacitor Voltage Doublers
Conversion losses occur during the charge transfer
between C1 and C2 when there is a voltage difference
between them. The power loss is:
⎡
⎛
2
2⎞
PCONVERSION LOSS = ⎢1/ 2C1 ⎜ 4VIN − VOUT ⎟ +
⎢
⎝
⎠
⎣
⎛
⎞⎤
2
1/ 2C2 ⎜ 2VOUT VRIPPLE − V RIPPLE ⎟ ⎥ x fOSC
⎝
⎠⎦
where VRIPPLE is the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple
determined by the output capacitor and load current
(see Output Capacitor section). Choose capacitor values that decrease the output resistance (see Flying
Capacitor section).
Applications Information
Flying Capacitor (C1)
To maintain the lowest output resistance, use capacitors with low ESR. Suitable capacitor manufacturers are
listed in Table 1. The charge-pump output resistance is
a function of C1 and C2’s ESR and the internal switch
resistance, as shown in the equation for ROUT in the
Efficiency Considerations section.
Minimizing the charge-pump capacitor’s ESR minimizes the total resistance. Suggested values are listed
in Tables 2 and 3.
Using a larger flying capacitor reduces the output
impedance and improves efficiency (see the Efficiency
Considerations section). Above a certain point, increasing C1’s capacitance has a negligible effect because
the output resistance becomes dominated by the internal switch resistance and capacitor ESR (see the
Output Resistance vs. Capacitance graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics). Table 2 lists the
most desirable capacitor values—those that produce a
low output resistance. But when space is a constraint, it
may be necessary to sacrifice low output resistance for
the sake of small capacitor size. Table 3 demonstrates
how the capacitor affects output resistance.
Output Capacitor (C2)
Increasing the output capacitance reduces the output
ripple voltage. Decreasing its ESR reduces both output
resistance and ripple. Smaller capacitance values can
be used with light loads. Use the following equation to
calculate the peak-to-peak ripple:
VRIPPLE = IOUT / (fOSC x C2) + 2 x IOUT x ESRC2
Input Bypass Capacitor
Bypass the incoming supply to reduce its AC impedance and the impact of the MAX1682/MAX1683’s
switching noise. When loaded, the circuit draws a continuous current of 2 x IOUT. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor is
sufficient.

Paralleling Devices
Paralleling multiple MAX1682 or MAX1683s reduces
the output resistance. Each device requires its own
pump capacitor (C1), but the reservoir capacitor (C2)
serves all devices (Figure 4). Increase C2’s value by a
factor of n, where n is the number of parallel devices.
Figure 4 shows the equation for calculating output
resistance.
Layout and Grounding
Good layout is important, primarily for good noise performance. To ensure good layout, mount all components as close together as possible, keep traces short
to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance, and
use a ground plane.

MAX1682/MAX1683
Cascading Devices
Devices can be cascaded to produce an even larger
voltage (Figure 3). The unloaded output voltage is nominally (n + 1) x VIN, where n is the number of voltage
doublers used. This voltage is reduced by the output
resistance of the first device multiplied by the quiescent
current of the second. The output resistance increases
when devices are cascaded. Using a two-stage doubler as an example, output resistance can be approximated as ROUT = 2 x ROUT1 + ROUT2, where ROUT1 is
the output resistance of the first stage and ROUT2 is the
output resistance of the second stage. A typical value
for a two-stage voltage doubler is 60Ω (with C1 at 10µF
for MAX1682 and 3.3µF for MAX1683). For n stages
with the same C1 value, ROUT = (2n - 1) x ROUT1.
