The LTC1144 is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor
voltage converter. It performs supply voltage conversion
from positive to negative from an input range of 2V to 18V,
resulting in complementary output voltages of –2V to
–18V. Only two noncritical external capacitors are needed
for the charge pump and charge reservoir functions.
The converter has an internal oscillator that can be
overdriven by an external clock or slowed down when
connected to a capacitor. The oscillator runs at a 10kHz
frequency when unloaded. A higher frequency outside the
audio band can also be obtained if the Boost Pin is tied to
V
+
. The SHDN pin reduces supply current to 8µA and can
be used to save power when the converter is not in use.
The LTC1144 contains an internal oscillator, divide-by-
two, voltage level shifter, and four power MOSFETs. A
special logic circuit will prevent the power N-channel
switch substrate from turning on.

Note 1:
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

inputs from sources operating from external supplies be applied prior to
power-up of the LTC1144.
Note 3:

OSC
= 100pF to minimize the effects of test
fixture capacitance loading. The 0pF frequency is correlated to this 100pF

device is plugged into a test socket and no external capacitor is used.

Theory of Operation
To understand the theory of operation of the LTC1144, 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)

Examination of Figure 4 shows that the LTC1144 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.
For example, if you examine power conversion efficiency
as a function of frequency (see Figure 5), this simple
theory will explain how the LTC1144 behaves. The loss,
