TPS6040x Unregulated 60-mA Charge Pump Voltage Inverter
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The TPS6040x family of devices generates an
unregulated negative output voltage from an input
voltage ranging from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. The devices are
typically supplied by a preregulated supply rail of 5 V
or 3.3 V. Due to its wide input voltage range, two or
three NiCd, NiMH, or alkaline battery cells, as well as
one Li-Ion cell can also power them.

Only three external 1-µF capacitors are required to
build a complete DC-DC charge pump inverter.
Assembled in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, the complete
converter can be built on a 50-mm2 board area.
Additional board area and component count reduction
is achieved by replacing the Schottky diode that is
typically needed for start-up into load by integrated
circuitry.
The TPS6040x can deliver a maximum output current
of 60 mA with a typical conversion efficiency of
greater than 90% over a wide output current range.
Three device options with 20-kHz, 50-kHz, and 250kHz fixed-frequency operation are available.
TPS60400 comes with a variable switching frequency
to reduce operating current in applications with a
wide load range and enables the design with lowvalue capacitors.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS60400, TPS60401 charge pumps invert the voltage applied to their input. For the highest performance,
use low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors (for example, ceramic). During the first half-cycle, switches
S2 and S4 open, switches S1 and S3 close, and capacitor (C(fly)) charges to the voltage at VI. During the second
half-cycle, S1 and S3 open, S2 and S4 close. This connects the positive terminal of C(fly) to GND and the
negative to VO. By connecting C(fly) in parallel, CO is charged negative. The actual voltage at the output is more
positive than -VI, since switches S1-S4 have resistance and the load drains charge from CO.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Charge-Pump Output Resistance
The TPS6040x devices are not voltage regulators. The charge pump's output source resistance is approximately
15 Ω at room temperature (with VI = 5 V), and VO approaches -5 V when lightly loaded. VO droops toward GND
as load current increases.

8.3.2 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 internal losses are associated with the internal functions of the IC, such as driving the
switches, oscillator, and so forth. These losses are affected by operating conditions such as input voltage,
temperature, and frequency. The next two losses are associated with the output resistance of the voltage
converter circuit. Switch losses occur because of the on-resistance of the MOSFET switches in the IC. Chargepump capacitor losses occur because of their ESR. The relationship between these losses and the output
resistance is as follows:
PCAPACITOR LOSSES + PCONVERSION LOSSES = IO2 × RO
RSWITCH = resistance of a single MOSFET-switch inside the converter
fOSC = oscillator frequency
(3)
The first term is the effective resistance from an ideal switched-capacitor circuit. Conversion losses occur during
the charge transfer between C(fly) and CO when there is a voltage difference between them. The power loss is:

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Active-Schottky Diode
For a short period of time, when the input voltage is applied, but the inverter is not yet working, the output
capacitor is charged positive by the load. To prevent the output being pulled above GND, a Schottky diode must
be added in parallel to the output. The function of this diode is integrated into the TPS6040x devices, which gives
a defined startup performance and saves board space.
A current sink and a diode in series can approximate the behavior of a typical, modern operational amplifier.
Figure 21 shows the current into this typical load at a given voltage. The TPS6040x devices are optimized to
start into these loads.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The TPS6040x is a family of devices that generate an unregulated negative output voltage from an input voltage
ranging from 1.6 V to 5.5 V.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The TPS6040x is connected to generate a negative output voltage from a positive input.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The most common application for these devices is a charge-pump voltage inverter (see Figure 23). This
application requires only two external components; capacitors C(fly) and CO, plus a bypass capacitor, if
necessary. Refer to the capacitor selection section for suggested capacitor types.
For the maximum output current and best performance, three ceramic capacitors of 1 µF (TPS60400, TPS60403)
are recommended. For lower currents or higher allowed output voltage ripple, other capacitors can also be used.
It is recommended that the output capacitors has a minimum value of 1 µF. With flying capacitors lower than 1
µF, the maximum output power decreases.
9.2.1.2.1 Capacitor Selection
To maintain the lowest output resistance, use capacitors with low ESR (see Table 2). The charge-pump output
resistance is a function of C(fly)'s and CO's ESR. Therefore, minimizing the charge-pump capacitor's ESR
minimizes the total output resistance. The capacitor values are closely linked to the required output current and
the output noise and ripple requirements. It is possible to only use 1-µF capacitors of the same type.
9.2.1.2.2
Input Capacitor (CI)
Bypass the incoming supply to reduce its ac impedance and the impact of the TPS6040x switching noise. The
recommended bypassing depends on the circuit configuration and where the load is connected. When the
inverter is loaded from OUT to GND, current from the supply switches between 2 x IO and zero. Therefore, use a
large bypass capacitor (for example, equal to the value of C(fly)) if the supply has high ac impedance. When the
inverter is loaded from IN to OUT, the circuit draws 2 × IO constantly, except for short switching spikes. A 0.1-µF
bypass capacitor is sufficient.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1.2.3
Flying Capacitor (C(fly))
Increasing the flying capacitor's size reduces the output resistance. Small values increases the output resistance.
Above a certain point, increasing C(fly)'s capacitance has a negligible effect, because the output resistance
becomes dominated by the internal switch resistance and capacitor ESR.
9.2.1.2.4
Output Capacitor (CO)
Increasing the output capacitor's size reduces the output ripple voltage. Decreasing its ESR reduces both output
resistance and ripple. Smaller capacitance values can be used with light loads if higher output ripple can be
tolerated. Use the following equation to calculate the peak-to-peak ripple.

9.2.1.2.5 Power Dissipation
As given in the Thermal Information, the thermal resistance of TPS6040x is: RΘJA = 221°C/W.
The terminal resistance can be calculated using the following equation:

where:
TJ is the junction temperature. TA is the ambient temperature. PD is the power that is dissipated by the
device.

(8)
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated using the following equation:
PD = VI× II - VO× IO = VI(max)× (IO + I(SUPPLY)) - VO× IO
(9)
The maximum power dissipation happens with maximum input voltage and maximum output current.
At maximum load the supply current is 0.7 mA maximum.
PD = 5 V × (60 mA + 0.7 mA) - 4.4 V × 60 mA = 40 mW
(10)
With this maximum rating and the thermal resistance of the device on the EVM, the maximum temperature rise
above ambient temperature can be calculated using the following equation:
ΔTJ = RΘJA× PD = 221°C/W × 40 mW =8.8°C
(11)
This means that the internal dissipation increases TJ by
