Equivalent Circuit Paralleling Devices Paralleling multiple MAX1852/MAX1853s reduces the Figure 2. Ideal Voltage Inverter output resistance. Each device requires its own pump capacitor (C1), but the reservoir capacitor (C2) serves fOSC all devices (Figure 5). Increase C2’s value by a factor of n, where n is the number of parallel devices. Figure 5 V+ VOUT shows the equation for calculating output resistance. MAX1852/MAX1853Combined Doubler/Inverter C2 R C1 L In the circuit of Figure 6, capacitors C1 and C2 form the inverter, while C3 and C4 form the doubler. C1 and C3 are the pump capacitors; C2 and C4 are the reservoir capacitors. Because both the inverter and doubler use Figure 3a. Switched-Capacitor Model part of the charge-pump circuit, loading either output causes both outputs to decline toward GND. Make sure the sum of the currents drawn from the two outputs IOUT does not exceed 30mA.

OUT require a Schottky diode (1N5817) between GND and OUT, with the anode connected to OUT (Figure 7). Voltage InverterLayout and Grounding The most common application for these devices is a charge-pump voltage inverter (Figure 1).

Cascading Devices Two devices can be cascaded to produce an even larger negative voltage (Figure 4). The unloaded output voltage is normally -2 ✕ VIN, but this is reduced slightly by the output resistance of the first device multiplied by the quiescent current of the second. When cascading more than two devices, the output resistance rises sig- nificantly. For applications requiring larger negative voltages, see the MAX865 and MAX868 data sheets. 6_______________________________________________________________________________________
