DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The MAX1720 charge pump converter inverts the voltage
applied to the V
in
pin. Conversion consists of a two−phase
operation (Figure 15). During the first phase, switches S
2
and
S
4
are open and S
1
and S
3
are closed. During this time, C
1
charges to the voltage on V
in
and load current is supplied from
C
2
. During the second phase, S
2
and S
4
are closed, and S
1
and
S
3
are open. This action connects C
1
across C
2
, restoring
charge to C
2
.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage Considerations
The MAX1720 performs voltage conversion but does not
provide regulation. The output voltage will drop in a linear
manner with respect to load current. The value of this
equivalent output resistance is approximately 26 W nominal
at 25°C with V
in
= 5.0 V. V
out
is approximately5.0 V at light
loads, and drops according to the equation below:

Charge Pump Efficiency
The overall power conversion efficiency of the charge
pump is affected by four factors:
1. Losses from power consumed by the internal
oscillator, switch drive, etc. (which vary with input
voltage, temperature and oscillator frequency).
2. I
2
R losses due to the on−resistance of the MOSFET
switches on−board the charge pump.
3. Charge pump capacitor losses due to Equivalent
Series Resistance (ESR).
4. Losses that occur during charge transfer from the
commutation capacitor to the output capacitor when
a voltage difference between the two capacitors
exists.
Most of the conversion losses are due to factors 2, 3 and 4.
These losses are given by Equation 1.

Capacitor Selection
In order to maintain the lowest output resistance and
output ripple voltage, it is recommended that low ESR
capacitors be used. Additionally, larger values of C
1
will
lower the output resistance and larger values of C
2
will
reduce output voltage ripple. (See Equation 3).
Table 1 shows various values of C
1
, C
2
and C
3
with the
corresponding output resistance values at 25°C. Table 2
shows the output voltage ripple for various values of C
1
, C
2
and C
3
. The data in Tables 1 and 2 was measured not
calculated.

Input Supply Bypassing
The input voltage, V
in
should be capacitively bypassed to
reduce AC impedance and minimize noise effects due to the
switching internals in the device. If the device is loaded from
V
out
to GND, it is recommended that a large value capacitor
(at least equal to C
1
) be connected from V
in
to GND. If the
device is loaded from V
in
to V
out
, a small (0.7 mF) capacitor
between the pins is sufficient.
Voltage Inverter
The most common application for a charge pump is the
voltage inverter (Figure 14). This application uses two or
three external capacitors. The C
1
(pump capacitor) and C
2
(output capacitor) are required. The input bypass capacitor,
C
3
, may be necessary depending on the application. The
output is equal to −V
in
plus any voltage drops due to loading.
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for capacitor selection. The test setup
used for the majority of the characterization is shown in
Figure 14.
Layout Considerations
As with any switching power supply circuit, good layout
practice is recommended. Mount components as close
together as possible to minimize stray inductance and
capacitance. Also, use a large ground plane to minimize noise
leakage into other circuitry.
Capacitor Resources
Selecting the proper type of capacitor can reduce switching
loss. Low ESR capacitors are recommended. The MAX1720
was characterized using the capacitors listed in Table 3. This
list identifies low ESR capacitors for the voltage inverter
application.
