MAX1044/ICL7660
Switched-Capacitor Voltage Converters
_______________General Description
The MAX1044 and ICL7660 are monolithic, CMOS
switched-capacitor voltage converters that invert, dou-
ble, divide, or multiply a positive input voltage. They are
pin compatible with the industry-standard ICL7660 and
LTC1044. Operation is guaranteed from 1.5V to 10V with
no external diode over the full temperature range. They
deliver 10mA with a 0.5V output drop. The MAX1044
has a BOOST pin that raises the oscillator frequency
above the audio band and reduces external capacitor
size requirements.
The MAX1044/ICL7660 combine low quiescent current
and high efficiency. Oscillator control circuitry and four
power MOSFET switches are included on-chip.
Applications include generating a -5V supply from a
+5V logic supply to power analog circuitry. For applica-
tions requiring more power, the MAX660 delivers up to
100mA with a voltage drop of less than 0.65V.

Note 1:
The Maxim ICL7660 and MAX1044 can operate without an external output diode over the full temperature and voltage
ranges. The Maxim ICL7660 can also be used with an external output diode in series with pin 5 (cathode at V
OUT
) when
replacing the Intersil ICL7660. Tests are performed without diode in circuit.
Note 2:
f
OSC
is tested with C
OSC
= 100pF to minimize the effects of test fixture capacitance loading. The 1pF frequency is correlat-
ed to this 100pF test point, and is intended to simulate pin 7’s capacitance when the device is plugged into a test socket
with no external capacitor. For this test, the LV pin is connected to GND for comparison to the original manufacturer’s
device, which automatically connects this pin to GND for (V+ > 3V).

FUNCTION
Frequency Boost. Connecting BOOST to V+ increases the oscillator frequency by a factor of six. When the

During the first half of each cycle, switches S1 & S3
close and switches S2 & S4 open, which connects the
bucket capacitor C1 across V+ and charges C1.
During the second half of each cycle, switches S2 & S4
close and switches S1 & S3 open, which connects the
positive terminal of C1 to ground and shifts the nega-
tive terminal to V
OUT
. This connects C1 in parallel 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 voltages across them are equal.
During successive cycles, C1 will continue pouring
charge into C2 until the voltage across C2 reaches
- (V+). In an actual voltage inverter, the output is less
than - (V+) since the switches S1–S4 have resistance
and the load drains charge from C2.
Additional qualities of the MAX1044/ICL7660 can be
understood by using a switched-capacitor circuit
model. Switching the bucket capacitor, C1, between
the input and output of the circuit synthesizes a resis-
tance (Figures 3a and 3b.)
When the switch in Figure 3a is in the left position,
capacitor C1 charges to V+. When the switch moves to
the right position, C1 is discharged to V
OUT
. The
charge transferred per cycle is:
ΔQ
= C1(V+ - V
OUT
). If
the switch is cycled at frequency f, then the resulting

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1044/ICL7660 are charge-pump voltage con-
verters. They work by first accumulating charge in a
bucket capacitor and then transfer it into a reservoir
capacitor. The ideal voltage inverter circuit in Figure 2
illustrates this operation.
