• Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated

Specifications of MAX1682C/D

• Function: Step Up
• Output Voltage: 4 V to 11 V
• Output Current: 45 mA

The MAX1682/MAX1683 capacitive charge pumps
double the voltage applied to their input. Figure 1
shows a simplified functional diagram of an ideal volt-
age doubler. During the first half-cycle, switches S1
and S2 close, and capacitor C1 charges to V
the second half cycle, S1 and S2 open, S3 and S4
close, and C1 is level shifted upward by V
connects C1 to the reservoir capacitor C2, allowing
energy to be delivered to the output as necessary. The
actual voltage is slightly lower than 2 x V
switches S1–S4 have resistance and the load drains
charge from C2.
The MAX1682/MAX1683 have a finite output resistance
of about 20Ω (Table 2). As the load current increases,
the devices’ output voltage (V
equals the current drawn from V
output impedance (R

The power efficiency of a switched-capacitor voltage
converter is affected by three factors: the internal losses
in the converter IC, the resistive losses of the capacitors,
and the conversion losses during charge transfer
between the capacitors. The total power loss is:
The internal losses are associated with the IC’s internal
functions, such as driving the switches, oscillator, etc.
These losses are affected by operating conditions such
as input voltage, temperature, and frequency.
The next two losses are associated with the voltage
converter circuit’s output resistance. Switch losses
occur because of the on-resistance of the MOSFET
switches in the IC. Charge-pump capacitor losses
occur because of their ESR. The relationship between
these losses and the output resistance is as follows:
