Rectifier Diode
Use a Schottky diode with an average current rating
equal to or greater than the peak inductor current, and
a voltage rating at least 1.5 times the main output volt-
age (V
MAIN
).
Charge Pumps (MAX1778/ MAX1880/
MAX1881/MAX1882 Only)
Selecting the Number of Charge-Pump Stages
The number of charge-pump stages required to regu-
late the output voltage depends on the supply voltage,
output voltage, load current, switching frequency, the
diode’s forward voltage drop, and ceramic capacitor
values.
For positive charge-pump outputs, the number of
required stages can be determined by:
where V
SUPD
is the positive charge-pump diode supply
(Figure 4), V
DIODE
is the diode’s forward voltage drop,
and R
TX
is the charge pump’s output impedance. The
charge pump’s output impedance can be approximat-
ed using the following equation:
where the charge pump’s switching frequency (f
CHP
) is
equal to 0.5 x f
OSC
, the p-channel MOSFET’s on-resis-
tance (R
PCH(ON)
) is 10Ω, and the n-channel MOSFET’s
on-resistance (R
NCH(ON
)) is 4Ω (see the Electrical
Characteristics ).
For negative charge-pump outputs, the number of
required stages can be determined by:
where N
NEG
is rounded up to the nearest integer.
