GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM660/ADM8660 is a charge-pump voltage converter
that can be used to either invert the input supply voltage giving
V
OUT
= –V
IN
or double it (ADM660 only) giving V
OUT
= 2 ⫻ V
IN
.
Input voltages ranging from +1.5 V to +7 V can be inverted into
a negative –1.5 V to –7 V output supply. This inverting scheme
is ideal for generating a negative rail in single power supply
systems. Only two small external capacitors are needed for the
charge pump. Output currents up to 50 mA with greater than
90% efficiency are achievable, while 100 mA achieves greater
than 80% efficiency.
A Frequency Control (FC) input pin is used to select either
25 kHz or 120 kHz charge-pump operation. This is used to
optimize capacitor size and quiescent current. With 25 kHz
selected, a 10 µF external capacitor is suitable, while with 120 kHz
the capacitor may be reduced to 2.2 µF. The oscillator frequency
on the ADM660 can also be controlled with an external capacitor
connected to the OSC input or by driving this input with an
external clock. In applications where a higher supply voltage is
desired it is possible to use the ADM660 to double the input
voltage. With input voltages from 2.5 V to 7 V, output voltages
from 5 V to 14 V are achievable with up to 100 mA output current.
The ADM8660 features a low power shutdown (SD) pin instead
of the external oscillator (OSC) pin. This can be used to disable
the device and reduce the quiescent current to 300 nA.
The ADM660 is a pin compatible upgrade for the MAX660,
MAX665, ICL7660, and LTC1046.
The ADM660/ADM8660 is available in 8-lead DIP and
narrow-body SOIC. The ADM660 is also available in a 16-lead
TSSOP package.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADM660/ADM8660 is a switched capacitor voltage con-
verter that can be used to invert the input supply voltage. The
ADM660 can also be used in a voltage doubling mode. The
voltage conversion task is achieved using a switched capacitor
technique using two external charge storage capacitors. An on-
board oscillator and switching network transfers charge between
the charge storage capacitors. The basic principle behind the
voltage conversion scheme is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 2. Voltage Doubling Principle
Figure 1 shows the voltage inverting configuration, while Figure 2
shows the configuration for voltage doubling. An oscillator
generating antiphase signals φ1 and φ2 controls switches S1, S2,
and S3, S4. During φ1, switches S1 and S2 are closed charging
C1 up to the voltage at V+. During φ2, S1 and S2 open and S3
and S4 close. With the voltage inverter configuration during φ2,
the positive terminal of C1 is connected to GND via S3 and the
negative terminal of C1 connects to V
OUT
via S4. The net result
is voltage inversion at V
OUT
wrt GND. Charge on C1 is trans-
ferred to C2 during φ2. Capacitor C2 maintains this voltage
during φ1. The charge transfer efficiency depends on the on-
resistance of the switches, the frequency at which they are being
switched, and also on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of
the external capacitors. The reason for this is explained in the
following section. For maximum efficiency, capacitors with low
ESR are, therefore, recommended.
The voltage doubling configuration reverses some of the con-
nections, but the same principle applies.
Switched Capacitor Theory of Operation
As already described, the charge pump on the ADM660/ADM8660
uses a switched capacitor technique in order to invert or double
the input supply voltage. Basic switched capacitor theory is
discussed below.
A switched capacitor building block is illustrated in Figure 3.
With the switch in position A, capacitor C1 will charge to voltage
V1. The total charge stored on C1 is q1 = C1V1. The switch is
then flipped to position B discharging C1 to voltage V2. The
charge remaining on C1 is q2 = C1V2. The charge transferred
to the output V2 is, therefore, the difference between q1 and
q2, so ∆q = q1–q2 = C1 (V1–V2).
V1 AB
C1
C2 R
L
V2
Figure 3. Switched Capacitor Building Block
As the switch is toggled between A and B at a frequency f, the
charge transfer per unit time or current is:
I=f(∆q)=f(C1)(V1–V2)
Therefore,
I=(V1–V2)/(1 / fC1) =(V1–V2)/(REQ )
where R
EQ
= 1/fC1
The switched capacitor may, therefore, be replaced by an equivalent
resistance whose value is dependent on both the capacitor size
and the switching frequency. This explains why lower capacitor
values may be used with higher switching frequencies. It should
be remembered that as the switching frequency is increased the
power consumption will increase due to some charge being lost
at each switching cycle. As a result, at high frequencies, the power
efficiency starts decreasing. Other losses include the resistance
of the internal switches and the equivalent series resistance (ESR)
of the charge storage capacitors.

Voltage Doubling Configuration
Figure 8 shows the ADM660 configured to generate increased
output voltages. As in the inverting mode, only two external
capacitors are required. The doubling function is achieved by
reversing some connections to the device. The input voltage is
applied to the GND pin and V+ is used as the output. Input
voltages from 2.5 V to 7 V are allowable. In this configuration,
pins LV, OUT must be connected to GND.
The unloaded output voltage in this configuration is 2 (V
IN
).
Output resistance and ripple are similar to the voltage inverting
configuration.
Note that the ADM8660 cannot be used in the voltage
doubling configuration.

Shutdown Input
The ADM8660 contains a shutdown input that can be used to
disable the device and thus reduce the power consumption. A
logic high level on the SD input shuts the device down reducing
the quiescent current to 0.3 µA. During shutdown, the output
voltage goes to 0 V. Therefore, ground referenced loads are not
powered during this state. When exiting shutdown, it takes
several cycles (approximately 500 µs) for the charge pump to
reach its final value. If the shutdown function is not being used,
then SD should be hardwired to GND.
Capacitor Selection
The optimum capacitor value selection depends the charge-pump
frequency. With 25 kHz selected, 10 µF capacitors are recommended,
while with 120 kHz selected, 2.2 µF capacitors may be used.
Other frequencies allow other capacitor values to be used. For
maximum efficiency in all cases, it is recommended that capaci-
tors with low ESR are used for the charge-pump. Low ESR
capacitors give both the lowest output resistance and
lowest
ripple voltage. High output resistance degrades the overall
power
efficiency and causes voltage drops, especially at high output
Inverting Negative Voltage Generator
Figures 5 and 6 show the ADM660/ADM8660 configured to
generate a negative output voltage. Input supply voltages from
1.5 V up to 7 V are allowable. For supply voltage less than 3 V,
LV must be connected to GND. This bypasses the internal
regulator circuitry and gives best performance in low voltage
applications. With supply voltages greater than 3 V, LV may
be either connected to GND or left open. Leaving it open facili-
tates direct substitution for the ICL7660.

OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY
The internal charge-pump frequency may be selected to be
either 25 kHz or 120 kHz using the Frequency Control (FC)
input. With FC unconnected (ADM660) or connected to GND
(ADM8660), the internal charge pump runs at 25 kHz while, if
FC is connected to V+, the frequency is increased by a factor of
five. Increasing the frequency allows smaller capacitors to be
used for equivalent performance or, if the capacitor size is un-
changed, it results in lower output impedance and ripple.
If a charge-pump frequency other than the two fixed values is
desired, this is made possible by the OSC input, which can
either have a capacitor connected to it or be overdriven by an
external clock. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteris-
tics, which shows the variation in charge-pump frequency versus
capacitor size. The charge-pump frequency is one-half the oscil-
lator frequency applied to the OSC pin.
If an external clock is used to overdrive the oscillator, its levels
should swing to within 100 mV of V+ and GND. A CMOS
driver is, therefore, suitable. When OSC is overdriven, FC has
no effect but LV must be grounded.
Note that overdriving is permitted only in the voltage inverter
configuration.

current levels. The ADM660/ADM8660 is tested using low
ESR, 10 µF, capacitors for both C1 and C2. Smaller values of
C1 increase the output resistance, while increasing C1 will
reduce the output resistance. The output resistance is also depen-
dent on the internal switches on resistance as well as the
capacitors ESR, so the effect of increasing C1 becomes negligible
past a certain point.
Figure 9 shows how the output resistance varies with oscillator
frequency for three different capacitor values. At low oscillator
frequencies, the output impedance is dominated by the 1/f
C
term. This explains why the output impedance is higher for
smaller capacitance values. At high oscillator frequencies, the
1/f
C
term becomes insignificant and the output impedance is
dominated by the internal switches on resistance. From an out-
put impedance viewpoint, therefore, there is no benefit to be
gained from using excessively large capacitors.

Capacitor C2
The output capacitor size C2 affects the output ripple. Increas-
ing the capacitor size reduces the peak-to-peak ripple. The ESR
affects both the output impedance and the output ripple.
Reducing the ESR reduces the output impedance and ripple.
For convenience it is recommended that both C1 and C2 be the
same value.

Power Efficiency and Oscillator Frequency Trade-Off
While higher switching frequencies allow smaller capacitors to
be used for equivalent performance, or improved performance
with the same capacitors, there is a trade-off to consider. As the
oscillator frequency is increased, the quiescent current increases.
This happens as a result of a finite charge being lost at each
switching cycle. The charge loss per unit cycle at very high
frequencies can be significant, thereby reducing the power effi-
ciency. Since the power efficiency is also degraded at low oscillator
frequencies due to an increase in output impedance, this means
that there is an optimum frequency band for maximum power
transfer. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Bypass Capacitor
The ac impedance of the ADM660/ADM8660 may be reduced
by using a bypass capacitor on the input supply. This capacitor
should be connected between the input supply and GND. It
will provide instantaneous current surges as required. Suitable
capacitors of 0.1 µF or greater may be used.
