Charge-Pump Flying Capacitor (C1)
The charge-pump flying capacitor connected between
C1N and C1P affects the charge pump’s load regula-
tion and output impedance. Choosing too small a flying
capacitor degrades the MAX9729’s ability to provide
sufficient current drive and leads to a loss of output
voltage. Increasing the value of the flying capacitor
improves load regulation and reduces the charge-
pump output impedance. See the Output Power vs.
Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance
graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics . Place
C1 physically close to C1P and C1N. Use a 1µF capac-
itor for C1 in most applications.
Charge-Pump Hold Capacitor (C2)
The hold capacitor’s value and ESR directly affect the
ripple at PV
SS
. Ripple is reduced by increasing the
value of the hold capacitor. Choosing a capacitor with
lower ESR reduces ripple and output impedance. Lower
capacitance values can be used in systems with low
maximum output power levels. See the Output Power vs.
Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance graph
in the Typical Operating Characteristics . C2 should be
equal to the value of C1. Place C2 physically close to
PV
SS
and SV
SS
. Connect PV
SS
and SV
SS
together at
C2. Use a 1µF capacitor for C2 in most applications.
PV
DD
Bypass Capacitor (C3)
The PV
DD
bypass capacitor lowers the output imped-
ance of the power supply and reduces the impact of
the MAX9729’s charge-pump switching transients. C3
should be greater than or equal to C1. Place C3 physi-
cally close to PV
DD
.
