High Voltage Upgrade to ICL7660/LTC1044
The LTC1044A is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor
voltage converter. It plugs in for ICL7660/LTC1044 in
applications where higher input voltage (up to 12V) is
needed. The LTC1044A provides several conversion func-
tions without using inductors. The input voltage can be
inverted (V
OUT
= – V
IN
), doubled (V
OUT
= 2V
IN
), divided
(V
OUT
= V
IN
/2) or multiplied (V
OUT
=
±nV
IN
).
To optimize performance in specific applications, a boost
function is available to raise the internal oscillator fre-
quency by a factor of 7. Smaller external capacitors can be
used in higher frequency operation to save board space.
The internal oscillator can also be disabled to save power.
The supply current drops to 1.5µA at 5V input when the
OSC pin is tied to GND or V
+
.

Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Connecting any input terminal to voltages greater than V

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 LTC1044A.
Note 3:

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 LTC1044A, a
review of a basic switched-capacitor building block is
helpful.
In Figure 1, 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

Figure 2. Switched-Capacitor Equivalent Circuit
Examination of Figure 3 shows that the LTC1044A has the
same switching action as the basic switched-capacitor
building block. With the addition of finite switch-on resis-
tance and output voltage ripple, the simple theory al-
though not exact, provides an intuitive feel for how the
device works.
For example, if you examine power conversion efficiency
as a function of frequency (see typical curve), this simple
theory will explain how the LTC1044A behaves. The loss,
and hence the efficiency, is set by the output impedance.
As frequency is decreased, the output impedance will
eventually be dominated by the 1/(f
×
C1) term, and power
efficiency will drop. The typical curves for Power Effi-
ciency vs Frequency show this effect for various capacitor
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.
