_______________General Description
The MAX662A is a regulated +12V, 30mA-output, charge-
pump DC-DC converter. It provides the necessary +12V
±5% output to program byte-wide flash memories, and
requires no inductors to deliver a guaranteed 30mA out-
put from inputs as low as 4.75V. It fits into less than 0.1in
2
of board space. The MAX662A is a pin-compatible
upgrade to the MAX662, and is recommended for new
designs. The MAX662A offers lower quiescent and shut-
down currents, and guarantees the output current over all
temperature ranges.
The MAX662A is the first charge-pump boost converter to
provide a regulated +12V output. It requires only a few
inexpensive capacitors, and the entire circuit is complete-
ly surface-mountable.
A logic-controlled shutdown pin that interfaces directly
with microprocessors reduces the supply current to only
0.5µA. The MAX662A comes in 8-pin narrow SO and DIP
packages.
For higher-current flash memory programming solutions,
refer to the data sheets for the MAX734 (120mA output
current, guaranteed) and MAX732 (200mA output cur-
rent, guaranteed) PWM, switch-mode DC-DC converters.
Or, refer to the MAX761 data sheet for a 150mA, PFM
switch-mode DC-DC converter that operates from inputs
as low as 2V.

MAX662A
_______________Detailed Description
Operating Principle
The MAX662A provides a regulated 12V output voltage
at 30mA from a 5V ±5% power supply, making it ideal
for flash EEPROM programming applications. It uses
internal charge pumps and external capacitors to gen-
erate +12V, eliminating inductors. Regulation is provid-
ed by a pulse-skipping scheme that monitors the
output voltage level and turns on the charge pumps
when the output voltage begins to droop.
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
MAX662A. When the S1 switches are closed and the
S2 switches are open, capacitors C1 and C2 are
charged up to V
CC
. The S1 switches are then opened
and the S2 switches are closed so that capacitors C1
and C2 are connected in series between V
CC
and
V
OUT
. This performs a voltage tripling function. A pulse-
skipping feedback scheme adjusts the output voltage
to 12V ±5%. The efficiency of the MAX662A with V
CC
=
5V and I
OUT
= 30mA is typically 76%. See the
Efficiency vs. Load Current graph in the
Typical
Operating Characteristics.
During one oscillator cycle, energy is transferred from
the charge-pump capacitors to the output filter capaci-
tor and the load. The number of cycles within a given
time frame increases as the load current increases or
as the input supply voltage decreases. In the limiting
case, the charge pumps operate continuously, and the
oscillator frequency is nominally 500kHz.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX662A enters shutdown mode when SHDN is a
logic high. SHDN is a TTL/CMOS-compatible input sig-
nal that is internally pulled up to V
CC
. In shutdown
mode, the charge-pump switching action is halted and
V
IN
is connected to V
OUT
through a 1kΩ switch. When
entering shutdown, V
OUT
declines to V
CC
in typically
13ms. Connect SHDN to ground for normal operation.
When V
CC
= 5V, it takes typically 400µs for the output
to reach 12V after SHDN goes low (Figure 2).
__________Applications Information
Compatibility with MAX662
The MAX662A is a 100%-compatible upgrade of the
MAX662. The MAX662A does not require capacitor C3,
although its presence does not affect performance.
Capacitor Selection
Charge-Pump Capacitors, C1 and C2
The capacitance values of the charge-pump capacitors
C1 and C2 are critical. Use ceramic or tantalum capaci-
tors in the 0.22µF to 1.0µF range. For applications requir-
ing operation over extended and/or military temperature
ranges, use 1.0µF tantalum capacitors for C1 and C2
(Figure 3b).
Input and Output Capacitors, C4 and C5
The type of input bypass capacitor (C4) and output filter
capacitor (C5) affects performance. Tantalums, ceramics
or aluminum electrolytics are suggested. For smallest size,
use Sprague 595D475X9016A7 surface-mount capacitors,
which are 3.51mm x 1.81mm. For lowest ripple, use low-
ESR through-hole ceramic or tantalum capacitors. For low-
est cost, use aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitors.
Figure 3a shows the component values for proper opera-
tion over the commercial temperature range using mini-
mum board space. The input bypass capacitor (C4) and
output filter capacitor (C5) should both be at least 4.7µF
when using Sprague’s miniature 595D series of tantalum
chip capacitors. Figure 3b shows the suggested compo-
nent values for applications over extended and/or mili-
tary temperature ranges.
The values of C4 and C5 can be reduced to 2µF and
1µF, respectively, when using ceramic capacitors. If
using aluminum electrolytics, choose capacitance values
of 10µF or larger for C4 and C5. Note that as V
CC
increases above 5V and the output current decreases,
the amount of ripple at V
OUT
increases due to the slower
oscillator frequency combined with the higher input volt-
age. Increase the input and output bypass capacitance
to reduce output ripple.
Table 1 lists various capacitor suppliers.

Layout is critical, due to the MAX662A’s high oscillator
frequency. Good layout ensures stability and helps
maintain the output voltage under heavy loads. For best
performance, use very short connections to the capaci-
tors. The order of importance is: C4, C5, C1, C2.

The circuit of Figure 3a is a +12V ±5% 30mA flash
EEPROM programming power supply. A microproces-
sor controls the programming voltage via the SHDN
pin. When SHDN is low, the output voltage (which is
connected to the flash memory V
PP
supply-voltage pin)
rises to +12V to facilitate programming the flash memo-
ry. When SHDN is high, the output voltage is connected
to V
IN
through an internal 1kΩ resistor.

Paralleling Devices
Two MAX662As can be placed in parallel to increase
output drive capability. The V
CC
, V
OUT
, and GND pins
can be paralleled, reducing pin count. Use a single
bypass capacitor and a single output filter capacitor
with twice the capacitance value if the two devices can
be placed close to each other. If the MAX662As cannot
be placed close together, use separate bypass and
output capacitors. The amount of output ripple
observed will determine whether single input bypass
and output filter capacitors can be used. Under certain
conditions, one device may supply the total output cur-
rent. Therefore, regardless of the number of devices in
parallel, the maximum continuous current must not
exceed 50mA.
