Switched-Capacitor Voltage Inverters
General Description
The ultra-small MAX870/MAX871 monolithic, CMOS
charge-pump inverters accept input voltages ranging
from +1.4V to +5.5V. The MAX870 operates at 125kHz,
and the MAX871 operates at 500kHz. Their high efficien-
cy (90%) and low operating current (0.7mA for the
MAX870) make these devices ideal for both battery-pow-
ered and board-level voltage-conversion applications.
Oscillator control circuitry and four power MOSFET
switches are included on-chip. A typical MAX870/
MAX871 application is generating a -5V supply from a
+5V logic supply to power analog circuitry. Both parts
come in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package and can deliver 25mA
with a voltage drop of 500mV.
For a similar device with logic-controlled shutdown,
refer to the MAX1720/MAX1721. For applications
requiring more power, the MAX860 delivers up to 50mA
with a voltage drop of 600mV, in a space-saving µMAX
package.

Switched-Capacitor Voltage Inverters
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX870/MAX871 capacitive charge pumps invert
the voltage applied to their input. For highest perfor-
mance, 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, then 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.

Charge-Pump Output
The MAX870/MAX871 are not voltage regulators: the
charge pump’s output source resistance is approxi-
mately 20Ω at room temperature (with V
IN
= +5V), and
V
OUT
approaches -5V when lightly loaded. V
OUT
will
droop toward GND as load current increases. The
droop of the negative supply (V
DROOP-
) equals the cur-
rent draw from OUT (I
OUT
) times the negative convert-
er’s source resistance (RS-):
V
DROOP-
= I

x RS-
The negative output voltage will be:

Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of the MAX870/MAX871 is dominated by
its quiescent supply current (I
Q
) at low output current
and by its output impedance (R
OUT
) at higher output
current; it is given by:

The first term is the effective resistance of an ideal
switched-capacitor circuit (Figures 3a and 3b), and
R
SW
is the sum of the charge pump’s internal switch
resistances (typically 8Ω to 9Ω at V
IN
= +5V). The typical
output impedance is more accurately determined from
the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
__________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
To maintain the lowest output resistance, use capacitors
with low ESR (Table 1). The charge-pump output resis-
tance is a function of C1’s and C2’s ESR. Therefore,
minimizing the charge-pump capacitor’s ESR minimizes
the total output resistance.
