cycles (about 4ms) have elapsed. The start-up
sequence begins at power-up, when exiting shutdown,
or when recovering from a short circuit. If V
IN
is less
than the 1.6V UVLO threshold, the device remains shut
down and ignores a high SHDN input.
__________________Design Procedure
Optimize the charge-pump circuit for size, quiescent
current, and output ripple by properly selecting the
operating frequency and capacitors C
IN
, C1, and
C
OUT
.
For lowest output ripple, select 1MHz operation (FSET
= IN). In addition, increasing C
OUT
relative to C1 will
further reduce ripple. For highest efficiency, select
330kHz operation (FSET = GND) and select the largest
practical values for C
OUT
and C1 while maintaining a
30-to-1 ratio. See Table 1 for some suggested values
and the resulting output ripple.
Note that the capacitors must have low ESR (<20mΩ)
to maintain low ripple. Currently, only ceramic capaci-
tors can provide such low ESR; therefore, the output fil-
ter capacitors should be a combination of a 1µF
ceramic capacitor and a 10µF tantalum capacitor.
Smallest Size
Set the frequency to 1MHz by connecting FSET to IN.
Table 1 shows typical external component values.

PC Board Layout
Place C1, C
OUT
, and C
IN
close to the IC. Connect
PGND and GND with a short trace.
Efficiency
Charge-pump efficiency is best at low frequency
(330kHz). The theoretical maximum efficiency is given
in the following equation:
Theoretical maximum efficiency = V
OUT
/ (2 x V
IN
)
Gate-charge losses amount to approximately 1mA from
the output at full switching frequency (about 5% to 7%
loss).
