The switching waveforms will appear noisy and asyn-
chronous when light loading causes pulse-skipping
operation; this is a normal operating condition that
improves light-load efficiency.
Dual Charge-Pump Regulator (MAX1778/
MAX1880/MAX1881/MAX1882 Only)
The MAX1778/MAX1880/MAX1881/MAX1882 con-
trollers contain two independent low-power charge
pumps (Figure 4). One charge pump inverts the input
voltage and provides a regulated negative output volt-
age. The second charge pump doubles the input volt-
age and provides a regulated positive output voltage.
The controllers contain internal P-channel and N-chan-
nel MOSFETs to control the power transfer. The
internal MOSFETs switch at a constant frequency
(fCHP = fOSC/2).
Positive Charge Pump
During the first half-cycle, the N-channel MOSFET turns
on and charges flying capacitor C
X(POS)
(Figure 4).
This initial charge is controlled by the variable N-chan-
nel on-resistance. During the second half-cycle, the N-
channel MOSFET turns off and the P-channel MOSFET
turns on, level shifting C
X(POS)
by V
SUPP
volts. This
connects C
X(POS)
in parallel with the reservoir capaci-
tor C
OUT(POS)
. If the voltage across C
OUT(POS)
plus a
diode drop (V
POS
+ V
DIODE
) is smaller than the level-
shifted flying capacitor voltage (V
CX(POS)
+ V
SUPP
),
charge flows from C
X(POS)
to C
OUT(POS)
until the diode
(D3) turns off.
