GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC3682, TC3683 and TC3684 are CMOS charge
pump converters that provide an inverted doubled output
from a single positive supply. An on-board oscillator pro-
vides the clock and only three external capacitors are
required for full circuit implementation. Switching frequen-
cies are 12kHz for the TC3682, 35kHz for the TC3683, and
125kHz for the TC3684. When the SHDN pin is held at a
logic low, the device goes into a very low power mode of
operation consuming less than 1µA(typ.) of supply current.
Low output source impedance (typically 120Ω), pro-
vides output current up to 10mA. The TC3682, TC3683 and
TC3684 feature a 1.8V to 5.5V operating voltage range and
high efficiency, which make them an ideal choice for a wide
variety of applications requiring a negative doubled voltage
derived from a single positive supply (for example: genera-
tion of -7.2V from a +3.6V lithium cell or –10V generated
from a +5V logic supply).
The minimum external parts count, small physical size,
and shutdown mode make this family of products useful for
a wide variety of negative bias power supply applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC3682, TC3683 and TC3684 charge pumps per-
form –2x multiplication of the voltage applied to the V
IN
pin.
Conversion is performed using two
synchronous
switching
matrices and three external capacitors. When the shut-
down input is held at a logic low, both stages go into a very
low power mode of operation consuming less than 1µA of
supply current.
Figure 1 (below) is a block diagram representation of the
TC3682, TC3683 and TC3684 architecture. The first switch-
ing stage inverts the voltage present at V
IN
and the second
stage uses ‘–V
IN
’ generated from the first stage to produce
the ‘–2x’ output function from the second stage switching matrix.
Each device contains an on-board oscillator that syn-
chronously controls the operation of the charge pump switch-
ing matrices. The TC3682 synchronously switches at 12kHz,
the TC3683 synchronously switches at 35kHz, and the
TC3684 synchronously switches at 125kHz. The different
oscillator frequencies for this device family allow the user to
trade-off capacitor size versus supply current. Faster oscil-
lators can use smaller external capacitors, but will consume
more supply current (see Electrical Characteristics Table).
When the shutdown input is in a low state, the oscillator
and both switch matrices are powered off placing the TC3682,
TC3683 and TC3684 in the shutdown mode. When the V
IN
supply input is powered from an external battery, the shut-
down mode minimizes power consumption, which in turn will
extend the life of the battery.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage Considerations
The TC3682, TC3683 and TC3684 perform inverting
voltage conversions but do not provide any type of regula-
tion. The output voltage will droop in a linear manner with
respect to the respective load currents. The value of the
equivalent output resistance of the ‘-V
IN
’ output is approxi-
mately 50Ω nominal at +25°C and V
IN
= +5V. The value of
the ‘-2V
IN
’ output and is approximately 140Ω nominal at
+25°C and V
IN
= +5V. In this particular case, ‘-V
IN
’ is
approximately – 5V and ‘–2V
IN
’ is approximately –10V at
very light loads, and each stage will droop according to the
equation below:
V
DROOP
= I
OUT
x R
OUT
Capacitor Selection
In order to maintain the lowest output resistance and
output ripple voltage, it is recommended that low ESR
capacitors be used. Additionally, larger values of C1 and C2
will lower the output resistance and larger values of C
OUT
will
reduce output ripple.
NOTE: For proper charge pump
operation, C1 must have a voltage rating greater than or
equal to V
IN
, while C2 and C
OUT
must have a voltage
rating greater than or equal to 2V
IN
.
Table 1 shows various values of C1/C2 and the corre-
sponding output resistance values for V
IN

values of C

Input Supply Bypassing
TheV
IN
input should be capacitively bypassed to reduce
AC impedance and minimize noise effects due to the internal
switching in the device. It is recommended that a large value
capacitor (at least equal to C1) be connected from V
IN
to
GND for optimal circuit performance.
Shutdown Input
The TC3682, TC3683 and TC3684 are enabled when
SHDN is high, and disabled when SHDN is low. This input
cannot be allowed to float. (If SHDN is not required, see the
TC2682/2683/2684 data sheet.) The SHDN input should be
limited to 0.3V above V
IN
.
Inverting Voltage Doubler
The most common application for the TC3682/3683/
3684 devices is the inverting voltage doubler (Figure 2).
This application uses three external capacitors: C1, C2, and
C
OUT
(NOTE: a power supply bypass capacitor is recom-
mended). The output is equal to –2V
IN
plus any voltage drop
due to loading. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for capacitor
selection guidelines.
Layout Considerations
As with any switching power supply circuit, good layout
practice is recommended. Mount components as close
together as possible to minimize stray inductance and
capacitance. Also use a large ground plane to minimize
noise leakage into other circuitry.
TC3682 Demo Card
The TC3682 DEMO Card is a 2.0” x 2.0” card containing
both a TC3682 and a TC682 that allow the user to compare
the operation of each approach for generating a –2X func-
tion. Each circuit is fully assembled with the required
external capacitors along with variable load resistors that
allow the user to vary the output load current of each stage.
For convenience, several test points and jumpers are avail-
able for measuring various voltages and currents on the
demo board.
Figure 3 is a schematic of the TC3682 DEMO Card, and
Figure 4 shows the assembly drawing and artwork for the
board. Table 3 lists the voltages that are monitored by the
test points and Table 4 lists the currents that can be
measured using the jumpers.
