SC70 Inverting Charge Pumps
with Shutdown
General Description
The MAX1852/MAX1853 monolithic, CMOS charge-
pump voltage inverters in the ultra-small SC70 package
feature a low 15Ω output resistance, permitting loads
up to 30mA with maximum efficiency. The MAX1852/
MAX1853 are available with operating frequencies of
50kHz and 200kHz, respectively, allowing optimization
of supply current or external component size. Small
external components and micropower shutdown mode
make these devices ideal for both battery-powered and
board-level voltage conversion applications.
Oscillator control circuitry and four power-MOSFET
switches are included on-chip. Applications include
generating a negative supply from a +5V or +3.3V logic
supply to power analog circuitry. Both versions come in
a 6-pin SC70 package that is 40% smaller than a
SOT23.

Detailed Description
The MAX1852/MAX1853 charge pumps invert the volt-
age applied to their input. For highest performance use
low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors (e.g.,
ceramic).
During the first half-cycle, switches S2 and S4 open,
switches S1 and S3 close, and capacitor C1 charges to
the voltage at IN (Figure 2). During the second half-
cycle, S1 and S3 open, S2 and S4 close, and C1 is level
shifted downward by V
IN
volts. This connects C1 in par-
allel with the reservoir capacitor C2. If the voltage across
C2 is smaller than the voltage across C1, charge flows
from C1 to C2 until the voltage across C2 reaches
-V
IN
. The actual voltage at the output is more positive
than -V
IN
since switches S1–S4 have resistance and the
load drains charge from C2.
resistances (typically 6Ω at V
IN
= +5V). The typical out-
put impedance is more accurately determined from the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Shutdown
The MAX1852/MAX1853 have a logic-controlled shut-
down input. Driving
SHDN
low places the devices in a
low-power shutdown mode. The charge-pump switch-
ing halts, supply current is reduced to 2nA.
Driving
SHDN
high will restart the charge pump. The
switching frequency and capacitor values determine how
soon the device will reach 90% of the input voltage.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The charge-pump output resistance is a function of the
ESR of C1 and C2. To maintain the lowest output resis-
tance, use capacitors with low ESR. (See Table 1 for a
list of recommended manufacturers.) Tables 2 and 3
suggest capacitor values for minimizing output resis-
tance or capacitor size.
Flying Capacitor (C1)
Increasing the flying capacitor’s value reduces the out-
put resistance. Above a certain point, increasing C1’s
capacitance has negligible effect because the output
resistance is then dominated by internal switch resis-
tance and capacitor ESR.
Output Capacitor (C2)
Increasing the output capacitor’s value reduces the
output ripple voltage. Decreasing its ESR reduces both
output resistance and ripple. Lower capacitance values
can be used with light loads if higher output ripple can
be tolerated. Use the following equation to calculate the
peak-to-peak ripple:

Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of the MAX1852/MAX1853 is dominated
by their quiescent supply current (I
Q
) at low output cur-
rent and by their output impedance (R
OUT
) at higher
output current; it is given by:
