Circuit Description
The LM2660 contains four large CMOS switches which are switched in a sequence to invert the input supply
voltage. Energy transfer and storage are provided by external capacitors. Figure 16 illustrates the voltage
conversion scheme. When S1and S3are closed, C1charges to the supply voltage V+. During this time interval
switches S2and S4are open. In the second time interval, S1and S3are open and S2and S4are closed, C1is
charging C2. After a number of cycles, the voltage across C2will be pumped to V+. Since the anode of C2is
connected to ground, the output at the cathode of C2equals (V+) assuming no load on C2, no loss in the
switches, and no ESR in the capacitors. In reality, the charge transfer efficiency depends on the switching
frequency, the on-resistance of the switches, and the ESR of the capacitors.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SIMPLE NEGATIVE VOLTAGE CONVERTER
The main application of LM2660 is to generate a negative supply voltage. The voltage inverter circuit uses only
two external capacitors as shown in the Basic Application Circuits. The range of the input supply voltage is 1.5V
to 5.5V. For a supply voltage less than 3.5V, the LV pin must be connected to ground to bypass the internal
regulator circuitry. This gives the best performance in low voltage applications. If the supply voltage is greater
than 3.5V, LV may be connected to ground or left open. The choice of leaving LV open simplifies the direct
substitution of the LM2660 for the LMC7660 Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter.
The output characteristics of this circuit can be approximated by an ideal voltage source in series with a resistor.
The voltage source equals (V+). The output resistance Rout is a function of the ON resistance of the internal
MOS switches, the oscillator frequency, and the capacitance and ESR of C1and C2. A good approximation is:
(1)
where RSW is the sum of the ON resistance of the internal MOS switches shown in Figure 16.
High value, low ESR capacitors will reduce the output resistance. Instead of increasing the capacitance, the
oscillator frequency can be increased to reduce the 2/(fosc × C1) term. Once this term is trivial compared with RSW
and ESRs, further increasing in oscillator frequency and capacitance will become ineffective.
The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple is determined by the oscillator frequency, and the capacitance and ESR
of the output capacitor C2:
(2)
Again, using a low ESR capacitor will result in lower ripple.
POSITIVE VOLTAGE DOUBLER
The LM2660 can operate as a positive voltage doubler (as shown in the Basic Application Circuits). The doubling
function is achieved by reversing some of the connections to the device. The input voltage is applied to the GND
pin with an allowable voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V. The V+ pin is used as the output. The LV pin and OUT pin must
be connected to ground. The OSC pin can not be driven by an external clock in this operation mode. The
unloaded output voltage is twice of the input voltage and is not reduced by the diode D1's forward drop.
The Schottky diode D1is only needed for start-up. The internal oscillator circuit uses the V+ pin and the LV pin
(connected to ground in the voltage doubler circuit) as its power rails. Voltage across V+ and LV must be larger
than 1.5V to insure the operation of the oscillator. During startup, D1is used to charge up the voltage at V+ pin to
start the oscillator; also, it protects the device from turning-on its own parasitic diode and potentially latching-up.
Therefore, the Schottky diode D1should have enough current carrying capability to charge the output capacitor
at start-up, as well as a low forward voltage to prevent the internal parasitic diode from turning-on. A Schottky
diode like 1N5817 can be used for most applications. If the input voltage ramp is less than 10V/ms, a smaller
Schottky diode like MBR0520LT1 can be used to reduce the circuit size.
SPLIT V+ IN HALF
Another interesting application shown in the Basic Application Circuits is using the LM2660 as a precision voltage
divider. Since the off-voltage across each switch equals VIN/2, the input voltage can be raised to +11V.
CHANGING OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator frequency can be selected using the Frequency Control (FC) pin. When FC is open, the
oscillator frequency is 10 kHz; when FC is connected to V+, the frequency increases to 80 kHz. A higher
oscillator frequency allows smaller capacitors to be used for equivalent output resistance and ripple, but
increases the typical supply current from 0.12 mA to 1 mA.
The oscillator frequency can be lowered by adding an external capacitor between OSC and GND. (See Typical
Performance Characteristics.) Also, in the inverter mode, an external clock that swings within 100 mV of V+ and
GND can be used to drive OSC. Any CMOS logic gate is suitable for driving OSC. LV must be grounded when
driving OSC. The maximum external clock frequency is limited to 150 kHz.

The switching frequency of the converter (also called the charge pump frequency) is half of the oscillator

CAPACITOR SELECTION
As discussed in the SIMPLE NEGATIVE VOLTAGE CONVERTER section, the output resistance and ripple
voltage are dependent on the capacitance and ESR values of the external capacitors. The output voltage drop is
the load current times the output resistance, and the power efficiency is
(3)
Where IQ(V+) is the quiescent power loss of the IC device, and IL2ROUT is the conversion loss associated with the
switch on-resistance, the two external capacitors and their ESRs.
Since the switching current charging and discharging C1is approximately twice as the output current, the effect
of the ESR of the pumping capacitor C1is multiplied by four in the output resistance. The output capacitor C2is
charging and discharging at a current approximately equal to the output current, therefore, its ESR only counts
once in the output resistance. However, the ESR of C2directly affects the output voltage ripple. Therefore, low
ESR capacitors (Table 2) are recommended for both capacitors to maximize efficiency, reduce the output voltage
drop and voltage ripple. For convenience, C1and C2are usually chosen to be the same.
The output resistance varies with the oscillator frequency and the capacitors. In Figure 17, the output resistance
vs. oscillator frequency curves are drawn for three different tantalum capacitors. At very low frequency range,
capacitance plays the most important role in determining the output resistance. Once the frequency is increased
to some point (such as 20 kHz for the 150 μF capacitors), the output resistance is dominated by the ON
resistance of the internal switches and the ESRs of the external capacitors. A low value, smaller size capacitor
usually has a higher ESR compared with a bigger size capacitor of the same type. For lower ESR, use ceramic
capacitors.

PARALLELING DEVICES
Any number of LM2660s can be paralleled to reduce the output resistance. Each device must have its own
pumping capacitor C1, while only one output capacitor Cout is needed as shown in Figure 18. The composite
output resistance is:

CASCADING DEVICES
Cascading the LM2660s is an easy way to produce a greater negative voltage (as shown in Figure 19). If n is the
integer representing the number of devices cascaded, the unloaded output voltage Vout is (nVin). The effective
output resistance is equal to the weighted sum of each individual device:
(5)
A three-stage cascade circuit shown in Figure 20 generates 3Vin, from Vin.
Cascading is also possible when devices are operating in doubling mode. In Figure 21, two devices are
cascaded to generate 3Vin.
An example of using the circuit in Figure 20 or Figure 21 is generating +15V or 15V from a +5V input.
Note that, the number of n is practically limited since the increasing of n significantly reduces the efficiency and
increases the output resistance and output voltage ripple.

REGULATING Vout
It is possible to regulate the output of the LM2660 by use of a low dropout regulator (such as LP2951). The
whole converter is depicted in Figure 22. This converter can give a regulated output from 1.5V to 5.5V by
choosing the proper resistor ratio:
(6)
where, Vref = 1.235V
The error flag on pin 5 of the LP2951 goes low when the regulated output at pin 4 drops by about 5%. The
LP2951 can be shutdown by taking pin 3 high.
Figure 22. Combining LM2660 with LP2951 to Make a Negative Adjustable Regulator
Also, as shown in Figure 23 by operating LM2660 in voltage doubling mode and adding a linear regulator (such
as LP2981) at the output, we can get +5V output from an input as low as +3V.
