6 LTC1261 applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u modes of operation the LTC1261 uses a charge pump to generate a negative output voltage that can be regulated to a value either higher or lower than the original input voltage. it has two modes of operation: a doubler inverting mode, which can provide a negative output equal to or less than the positive power supply and a tripler inverting mode, which can provide negative output voltages either larger or smaller in magnitude than the original positive supply. the tripler offers greater versatility and wider input range but requires four external capacitors and a 14-pin package. the doubler offers the so-8 package and requires only three external capacitors. doubler mode doubler mode allows the LTC1261 to generate negative output voltage magnitudes up to that of the supply voltage, creating a voltage between v cc and out of up to two times v s . in doubler mode the lt1261 uses a single flying capacitor to invert the input supply voltage, and the output voltage is stored on the output bypass capacitor between switch cycles. the LTC1261cs8 is always configured in doubler mode and has only one pair of flying capacitor pins (figure 1a). the LTC1261cs can be configured in doubler mode by connecting a single flying capacitor between the c1 + and c2 C pins. c1 C and c2 + should be left floating (figure 1b). tripler mode the LTC1261cs can be used in a tripler mode which can generate negative output voltages up to twice the supply voltage. the total voltage between the v cc and out pins can be up to three times v s . for example, tripler mode can be used to generate C 5v from a single positive 3.3v supply. tripler mode requires two external flying capaci- tors. the first connects between c1 + and c1 C and the second between c2 + and c2 C (figure 1c). because of the relatively high voltages that can be generated in this mode, care must be taken to ensure that the total input-to-output voltage never exceeds 12v or the LTC1261 may be dam- aged. in most applications the output voltage will be kept in check by the regulation loop. damage is possible however, with supply voltages above 4v in tripler mode and above 6v in doubler mode. as the input supply voltage rises the allowable output voltage drops, finally reaching C 4v with an 8.5v supply. to avoid this problem use doubler mode whenever possible with high input supply voltages. figure 1. flying capacitor connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 c1 c2 c1 + c1 c2 + LTC1261 LTC1261 ?f01 c2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 c1 c1 + c1 c2 + LTC1261 c2 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 c1 + c1 c1 LTC1261 a.)

LTC1261cs tripler mode theory of operation a block diagram of the LTC1261 is shown in figure 2. the heart of the LTC1261 is the charge pump core shown in the dashed box. it generates a negative output voltage by first charging the flying capacitors between v cc and ground. it then stacks the flying capacitors on top of each other and connects the top of the stack to ground forcing the bottom of the stack to a negative voltage. the charge on the flying capacitors is transferred to the output bypass capacitor, leaving it charged to the negative output volt- age. this process is driven by the internal clock. figure 2 shows the charge pump configured in tripler mode. with the clock low, c1 and c2 are charged to v cc by s1, s3, s5 and s7. at the next rising clock edge, s1, s3, s5 and s7 open and s2, s4 and s6 close, stacking c1 and c2 on top of each other. s2 connects c1 + to ground, s4 connects c1 C to c2 + and c2 C is connected to the output by s6. the charge in c1 and c2 is transferred to c out , setting it to a negative voltage. doubler mode works the same way except that the single flying capacitor (c1) is connected between c1 + and c2 C . s3, s4 and s5 dont do anything useful in doubler mode. c1 is charged initially by s1 and s7 and connected to the output by s2 and s6.

8 LTC1261 applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u output ripple output ripple in the LTC1261 comes from two sources; voltage droop at the output capacitor between clocks and frequency response of the regulation loop. voltage droop is easy to calculate. with a typical clock frequency of 550khz, the charge on the output capacitor is refreshed once every 1.8 m s. with a 15ma load and a 3.3 m f output capacitor, the output will droop by: i load = 15ma d t c out ) ) = 8.2mv 1.8 m s 3.3 m f ) ) this can be a significant ripple component when the output is heavily loaded, especially if the output capacitor is small. if absolute minimum output ripple is required, a 10 m f or greater output capacitor should be used. regulation loop frequency response is the other major contributor to output ripple. the LTC1261 regulates the output voltage by limiting the amount of charge trans- ferred to the output capacitor on a cycle-by-cycle basis. the output voltage is sensed at the adj pin (comp for fixed output versions) through an internal or external resistor divider from the out pin to ground. as the flying capacitors are first connected to the output, the output voltage begins to change quite rapidly. as soon as it exceeds the set point comp1 trips, switching the state of the charge pump and stopping the charge transfer. be- cause the rc time constant of the capacitors and the switches is quite short, the adj pin must have a wide ac bandwidth to be able to respond to the output in time. external parasitic capacitance at the adj pin can reduce the bandwidth to the point where the comparator cannot respond by the time the clock pulse finishes. when this happens the comparator will allow a few complete pulses through, then overcorrect and disable the charge pump until the output drops below the set point. under these conditions the output will remain in regulation but the output ripple will increase as the comparator hunts for the correct value. to prevent this from happening, an external capacitor can be connected from adj (or comp for fixed output parts) to ground to compensate for external parasitics and in- crease the regulation loop bandwidth (figure 3). this sounds counterintuitive until we remember that the inter- nal reference is generated with respect to out, not ground. comp 1 1.24v r2 v out adj/comp resistors are internal for fixed output parts LTC1261 ?f03 r1 c c 100pf to charge pump ref + figure 3. regulator loop compensation the feedback loop actually sees ground as its output, thus the compensation capacitor should be connected across the top of the resistor divider, from adj (or comp) to ground. by the same token, avoid adding capacitance between adj (or comp) and v out . this will slow down the feedback loop and increase output ripple. a 100pf capacitor from adj or comp to ground will compensate the loop properly under most conditions. output filtering if extremely low output ripple (< 5mv) is required, addi- tional output filtering is required. because the LTC1261 uses a high 550khz switching frequency, fairly low value rc or lc networks can be used at the output to effectively filter the output ripple. a 10 w series output resistor and a 3.3 m f capacitor will cut output ripple to below 3mv (figure 4). further reductions can be obtained with larger filter capacitors or by using an lc output filter.

10 LTC1261 most of this resistance is already provided by the internal switches in the LTC1261 (especially in tripler mode). more than 1 w or 2 w of esr on the flying capacitors will start to affect the regulation at maximum load. resistor selection resistor selection is easy with the fixed output versions of the LTC1261 no resistors are needed! selecting the right resistors for the adjustable parts is only a little more difficult. a resistor divider should be used to divide the signal at the output to give 1.24v at the adj pin with respect to v out (figure 6). the LTC1261 uses a positive reference with respect to v out , not a negative reference with respect to ground (figure 2 shows the reference connection). be sure to keep this in mind when connecting the resistors! if the initial output is not what you expected, try swapping the two resistors. applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u pump from going into very high frequency oscillation under such conditions but it also creates an output error as the feedback loop regulates based on the top of the spike, not the average value of the output (figure 5). the resulting output voltage behaves as if a resistor of value c esr (i pk /i ave ) w was placed in series with the output. to avoid this nasty sequence of events connect a 0.1 m f ceramic capacitor in parallel with the larger output capaci- tor. the ceramic capacitor will eat the high frequency spike, preventing it from fooling the feedback loop, while the larger but slower tantalum or aluminum output capaci- tor supplies output current to the load between charge cycles. low esr output cap clock v out average v set comp1 output v out high esr output cap v out average v set comp1 output v out LTC1261 ?f05 note that esr in the flying capacitors will not cause the same condition; in fact, it may actually improve the situa- tion by cutting the peak current and lowering the ampli- tude of the spike. however, more flying capacitor esr is not necessarily better. as soon as the rc time constant approaches half of a clock period (the time the capacitors have to share charge at full duty cycle) the output current capability of the LTC1261 will begin to diminish. for 0.1 m f flying capacitors, this gives a maximum total series resis- tance of: = / 0.1 m f = 9.1 w 1 2 ) ) t clk c fly 1 2 ) ) 1 550khz figure 5. output ripple with low and high esr capacitors figure 6. external resistor connections LTC1261 gnd r1 6 (4*) 10 (5*) 11 (6*) *LTC1261cs8 LTC1261 ?f06 v out = ?.24v r2 r1 + r2 r2 adj out () the 14-pin adjustable parts include a built-in resistor string which can provide an assortment of output voltages by using different pin-strapping options at the r0, r1, and r adj pins (table 2). the internal resistors are roughly 124k, 226k, 100k, and 50k (see figure 2) giving output options of C 3.5v, C 4v, C 4.5v, and C 5v. the resistors are carefully matched to provide accurate divider ratios, but the absolute values can vary substantially from part to part. it is not a good idea to create a divider using an external resistor and one of the internal resistors unless the output voltage accuracy is not critical.
11 LTC1261 able. the output voltage can be trimmed, if desired, by connecting external resistance from the comp pin to out or ground to alter the divider ratio. as in the adjustable parts, the absolute value of the internal resistors may vary significantly from unit to unit. as a result, the further the trim shifts the output voltage the less accurate the output voltage will be. if a precise output voltage other than one of the available fixed voltages is required, it is better to use an adjustable LTC1261 and use precision external resis- tors. the internal reference is trimmed at the factory to within 3.5% of 1.24v; with 1% external resistors the output will be within 5.5% of the nominal value, even under worst case conditions. the LTC1261 can be internally configured with nonstand- ard fixed output voltages. contact the linear technology marketing department for details. table 2. output voltages using the internal resistor divider pin connections output voltage adj to r adj C5v adj to r adj , r0 to gnd C 4.5v adj to r adj , r1 to r0 C 4v adj to r adj , r1 to gnd C 3.5v adj to r1 C 1.77v adj to r0 C 1.38v adj to gnd C 1.24v there are some oddball output voltages available by connecting adj to r0 or r1 and shorting out some of the internal resistors. if one of these combinations gives you the output voltage you want, by all means use it! the internal resistor values are the same for the fixed output versions of the LTC1261 as they are for the adjust- applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u typical applicatio n s n u 3.3v input, C 4.5v output gaas fet bias generator 2 3 4 5 8 13 12 11 10 9 shdn reg out adj r adj c1 + c1 c2 + c2 ? r1 0.1 m f 100pf 1 m f nc LTC1261 ?ta03 3.3 m f 4.5v bias 10k 76 14 0.1 m f shutdown 3.3v v bat LTC1261 v cc r0 gnd gaas transmitter p-channel power switch +
