The LTC
®
1046 is a 50mA monolithic CMOS switched
capacitor voltage converter. It plugs in for ICL7660/
LTC1044 in 5V applications where more output current is
needed. The device is optimized to provide high current
capability for input voltages of 6V or less. It trades off
operating voltage to get higher output current. The
LTC1046 provides several voltage conversion functions:
the input voltage can be inverted (V
OUT
= – V
IN
), divided
(V
OUT
=V
IN/
2) or multiplied (V
OUT
=
±
nV
IN
).
Designed to be pin-for-pin and functionally compatible
with the ICL7660 and LTC1044, the LTC1046 provides 2.5
times the output drive capability.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
the life of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Connecting any input terminal to voltages greater than V
+
or
less than ground may cause destructive latch-up. It is recommended
that no inputs from sources operating from external supplies be
applied prior to power-up of the LTC1046.

OSC
= 100pF to minimize the effects of test
fixture capacitance loading. The 0pF frequency is correlated to this 100pF
test point, and is intended to simulate the capacitance at pin 7 when the
device is plugged into a test socket and no external capacitor is used.

Theory of Operation
To understand the theory of operation of the LTC1046, a
review of a basic switched capacitor building block is
helpful.
In Figure 2, when the switch is in the left position, capacitor
C1 will charge to voltage V1. The total charge on C1 will be
q1 = C1V1. The switch then moves to the right, discharg-
ing C1 to voltage V2. After this discharge time, the charge
on C1 is q2 = C1V2. Note that charge has been transferred
from the source, V1, to the output, V2. The amount of
charge transferred is:
∆q
= q1 – q2 = C1(V1 – V2).
If the switch is cycled “f” times per second, the charge
transfer per unit time (i.e., current) is:
I = f •
∆q
= f • C1(V1 – V2).

Examination of Figure 4 shows that the LTC1046 has the
same switching action as the basic switched capacitor
building block. With the addition of finite switch ON
resistance and output voltage ripple, the simple theory,
although not exact, provides an intuitive feel for how the
device works.

Figure 4. LTC1046 Switched Capacitor
Voltage Converter Block Diagram
For example, if you examine power conversion efficiency
as a function of frequency (see typical curve), this simple
theory will explain how the LTC1046 behaves. The loss,
and hence the efficiency, is set by the output impedance.
+
U
As frequency is decreased, the output impedance will
eventually be dominated by the 1/fC1 term and power
efficiency will drop. The typical curves for power effi-
ciency versus frequency show this effect for various capaci-
tor values.
Note also that power efficiency decreases as frequency
goes up. This is caused by internal switching losses which
occur due to some finite charge being lost on each
switching cycle. This charge loss per unit cycle, when
multiplied by the switching frequency, becomes a current
loss. At high frequency this loss becomes significant and
the power efficiency starts to decrease.
LV (Pin 6)
The internal logic of the LTC1046 runs between V
+
and LV
(Pin 6). For V
+
greater than or equal to 3V, an internal
switch shorts LV to GND (Pin 3). For V
+
less than 3V, the
LV pin should be tied to ground. For V
+
greater than or
equal to 3V, the LV pin can be tied to ground or left floating.
OSC (Pin 7) and BOOST (Pin 1)
The switching frequency can be raised, lowered or driven
from an external source. Figure 5 shows a functional
diagram of the oscillator circuit.
