30mA Inverting Charge Pump in SOT23
for EMI-Sensitive Automotive Applications
General Description
The MAX16945 ultra-small, monolithic, CMOS charge-
pump voltage inverter accepts an input voltage ranging
from +1.4V to +5.5V. This device features an ultra-low
12Ω output resistance, permitting loads of up to 30mA
at +105°C with maximum efficiency. The MAX16945
operates at a frequency of 125kHz, allowing use of
small external components. Its small external compo-
nents, micropower shutdown mode, and wide tempera-
ture range make this device ideal for both automotive
and industrial applications.
Oscillator control circuitry and four power MOSFET
switches are included on-chip. The MAX16945 comes
in a 6-pin SOT23 package and operates over -40°C
to +105°C.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Note 2:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. Maxim recommends the use of the solder profiles recom-
mended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow
processes. Preheating, per this standard, is required. Hand or wave soldering is not recommended.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 3:
The MAX16945 may draw high supply current during startup, up to the minimum operating supply voltage. To guarantee
proper startup, the input supply must be capable of delivering 90mA more than the maximum load current.
Note 4:
Output resistance is guaranteed with capacitor ESR of 0.3Ω or less.
Note 5:
All specifications from -40°C to +105°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

Detailed Description
The MAX16945 capacitive charge pump inverts the
voltage applied to its input. For highest performance,
use low-ESR capacitors.
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 parallel with the reservoir capacitor C2. If the voltage
across C2 is smaller than the voltage across C1,
charge flows from C1 to C2 until the voltage across C2
reaches -V
IN
. The absolute value of the inverting output

voltage is always smaller than the value of the input
voltage due to the losses of the flying capacitor C1 and
the resistance of the switches S1–S4.
