APPLICATION INFORMATION

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The LMC7660 contains four large CMOS switches which are switched in a sequence to provide supply inversion
Vout = −Vin. Energy transfer and storage are provided by two inexpensive electrolytic capacitors. Figure 11 shows
how the LMC7660 can be used to generate −V+ from V+. When switches S1 and S3 are closed, Cp charges to
the supply voltage V+. During this time interval, switches S2 and S4 are open. After Cp charges to V+, S1 and S3
are opened, S2 and S4 are then closed. By connecting S2 to ground, Cp develops a voltage −V+/2 on Cr. After a
number of cycles Cr will be pumped to exactly −V+. This transfer will be exact assuming no load on Cr, and no
loss in the switches.
In the circuit of Figure 11, S1 is a P-channel device and S2, S3, and S4 are N-channel devices. Because the
output is biased below ground, it is important that the p− wells of S3 and S4 never become forward biased with
respect to either their sources or drains. A substrate logic circuit specifies that these p− wells are always held at
the proper voltage. Under all conditions S4 p− well must be at the lowest potential in the circuit. To switch off S4,
a level translator generates VGS4 = 0V, and this is accomplished by biasing the level translator from the S4 p−
well.
An internal RC oscillator and ÷ 2 circuit provide timing signals to the level translator. The built-in regulator biases
the oscillator and divider to reduce power dissipation on high supply voltage. The regulator becomes active at
about V+ = 6.5V. Low voltage operation can be improved if the LV pin is shorted to ground for V+ ≤ 3.5V. For V+
≥ 3.5V, the LV pin must be left open to prevent damage to the part.

POWER EFFICIENCY AND RIPPLE


It is theoretically possible to approach 100% efficiency if the following conditions are met:
1. The drive circuitry consumes little power.
2. The power switches are matched and have low Ron.
3. The impedance of the reservoir and pump capacitors are negligibly small at the pumping frequency.
The LMC7660 closely approaches 1 and 2 above. By using a large pump capacitor Cp, the charge removed
while supplying the reservoir capacitor is small compared to Cp's total charge. Small removed charge means
small changes in the pump capacitor voltage, and thus small energy loss and high efficiency. The energy loss by
Cp is:
(1)
By using a large reservoir capacitor, the output ripple can be reduced to an acceptable level. For example, if the
load current is 5 mA and the accepted ripple is 200 mV, then the reservoir capacitor can omit approximately be
calculated from:

(2)

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not exceed the maximum supply voltage or junction temperature.
2. Do not short pin 6 (LV terminal) to ground for supply voltages greater than 3.5V.
3. Do not short circuit the output to V+.
4. External electrolytic capacitors Cr and Cp should have their polarities connected as shown in Figure 1.

REPLACING PREVIOUS 7660 DESIGNS


To prevent destructive latchup, previous 7660 designs require a diode in series with the output when operated at
elevated temperature or supply voltage. Although this prevented the latchup problem of these designs, it lowered
the available output voltage and increased the output series resistance.
The TI LMC7660 has been designed to solve the inherent latch problem. The LCM7660 can operate over the
entire supply voltage and temperature range without the need for an output diode. When replacing existing
designs, the LMC7660 can be operated with diode Dx.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

CHANGING OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY


It is possible to dramatically reduce the quiescent operating current of the LMC7660 by lowering the oscillator
frequency. The oscillator frequency can be lowered from a nominal 10 kHz to several hundred hertz, by adding a
slow-down capacitor Cosc (Figure 12). As shown in the Typical Performance Curves the supply current can be
lowered to the 10 μA range. This low current drain can be extremely useful when used in μPower and battery
back-up equipment. It must be understood that the lower operating frequency and supply current cause an
increased impedance of Cr and Cp. The increased impedance, due to a lower switching rate, can be offset by
raising Cr and Cp until ripple and load current requirements are met.

SYNCHRONIZING TO AN EXTERNAL CLOCK


Figure 13 shows an LMC7660 synchronized to an external clock. The CMOS gate overrides the internal oscillator
when it is necessary to switch faster or reduce power supply interference. The external clock still passes through
the ÷2 circuit in the 7660, so the pumping frequency will be ½ the external clock frequency.

LOWERING OUTPUT IMPEDANCE


Paralleling two or more LMC7660's lowers output impedance. Each device must have it's own pumping capacitor
Cp, but the reservoir capacitor Cr is shared as depicted in Figure 14. The composite output resistance is:

(3)

INCREASING OUTPUT VOLTAGE


Stacking the LMC7660s is an easy way to produce a greater negative voltage. It should be noted that the input
current required for each stage is twice the load current on that stage as shown in Figure 15. The effective output
resistance is approximately the sum of the individual Rout values, and so only a few levels of multiplication can be
used.
It is possible to generate −15V from +5V by connecting the second 7660's pin 8 to +5V instead of ground as
shown in Figure 16. Note that the second 7660 sees a full 20V and the input supply should not be increased
beyond +5V.

SPLIT V+ IN HALF
Figure 17 is one of the more interesting applications for the LMC7660. The circuit can be used as a precision
voltage divider (for very light loads), alternately it is used to generate a ½ supply point in battery applications. In
the ½ cycle when S1 and S3 are closed, the supply voltage divides across the capacitors in a conventional way
proportional to their value. In the ½ cycle when S2 and S4 are closed, the capacitors switch from a series
connection to a parallel connection. This forces the capacitors to have the same voltage; the charge redistributes
to maintain precisely V+/2, across Cp and Cr. In this application all devices are only V+/2, and the supply voltage
can be raised to 20V giving exactly 10V at Vout.

GETTING UP … AND DOWN


The LMC7660 can also be used as a positive voltage multiplier. This application, shown in Figure 18, requires 2
additional diodes. During the first ½ cycle S2 charges Cp1 through D1; D2 is reverse biased. In the next ½ cycle
S2 is open and S1 is closed. Since Cp1 is charged to V+ − VD1 and is referenced to V+ through S1, the junction of
D1 and D2 is at V+ + (V+ −VD1). D1 is reverse biased in this interval. This application uses only two of the four
switches in the 7660. The other two switches can be put to use in performing a negative conversion at the same
time as shown in Figure 19. In the ½ cycle that D1 is charging Cp1, Cp2 is connected from ground to −Vout via S2
and S4, and Cr2 is storing Cp2's charge. In the interval that S1 and S3 are closed, Cp1 pumps the junction of D1
and D2 above V+, while Cp2 is refreshed from V+.

THERMOMETER SPANS 180°C


Using the combined negative and positive multiplier of Figure 20 with an LM35 it is possible to make a μPower
thermometer that spans a 180°C temperature range. The LM35 temperature sensor has an output sensitivity of
10 mV/°C, while drawing only 50 μA of quiescent current. In order for the LM35 to measure negative
temperatures, a pull down to a negative voltage is required. Figure 20 shows a thermometer circuit for measuring
temperatures from −55°C to +125°C and requiring only two 1.5V cells. End of battery life can be extended by
replacing the up converter diodes with Schottky's.

REGULATING −VOUT
It is possible to regulate the output of the LMC7660 and still maintain μPower performance. This is done by
enclosing the LMC7660 in a loop with a LP2951. The circuit of Figure 21 will regulate Vout to −5V for IL = 10 mA,
and Vin = 6V. For Vin > 7V, the output stays in regulation up to IL = 25 mA. The error flag on pin 5 of the LP2951
sets low when the regulated output at pin 4 drops by about 5%. The LP2951 can be shutdown by taking pin 3
high; the LMC7660 can be shutdown by shorting pin 7 and pin 8.
The LP2951 can be reconfigured to an adjustable type regulator, which means the LMC7660 can give a
regulated output from −2.0V to −10V dependent on the resistor ratios R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 22, Vref =
1.235V:
