    摘要: It is possible to prevent overcurrent from flowing at the time of initially charging thin-film capacitors with an inexpensive configuration. There are provided a direct current power supply DC supplying direct current to plural thin-film capacitors, resistors connected in series to the respective thin-film capacitors for limiting the current value of the direct current to be supplied from the direct current power supply DC to the thin-film capacitors, and series-parallel system changeover switches SW connected in series to the respective thin-film capacitors and having one contacts establishing, when selected, a series connection short-circuiting both ends of each thin-film capacitor and other contacts establishing, when selected, parallel connections supplying direct current through the resistors to the thin-film capacitors. A charging operation switch SW1 and a discharge operation switch SW2 are switched so that, at the time of charging, current supplied to the thin-film capacitors C is suppressed by the resistors by the parallel connections, and, at the time of discharging, discharging is permitted by the series connection, irrespective of the resistors.

    摘要: A hysteretic mode controller for controlling a capacitor voltage divider which has a flying capacitor. In one embodiment, the hysteretic mode controller includes an amplifier, a gain circuit and a hysteretic comparator circuit. The amplifier has an input for coupling to the flying capacitor and an output providing a fly voltage. The gain circuit has an input for receiving the input voltage and an output coupled to a reference node providing a reference voltage. The hysteretic comparator circuit has a first input coupled to the output of the amplifier, a second input receiving the reference voltage, and an output for providing a PWM signal to control the capacitor voltage divider. The fly voltage is compared to voltage limits of a hysteretic voltage window for switching the PWM signal. The switching frequency is increased with higher load current to maintain high efficiency.

    摘要: A charge pump provides a programmable multiplication factor for generating an output voltage. A first output voltage may be generated by connecting a first plurality of N capacitors in a first plurality of (N+1) configurations. A second output voltage may be generated by connecting a second plurality of M capacitors in a second plurality of M+1 configurations. The first plurality of N capacitors and the second plurality of M capacitors have one or more capacitors in common. The integers M and N may be equal, although this is not required. The first plurality of configurations is different than the second plurality of configurations, thereby providing different multiplication factors for the first and second pluralities of configurations. In one embodiment, the first plurality of (N+1) configurations results in an output voltage of about 3/4× an input voltage.

    摘要: A charge pump provides a multiplication factor of ⅔ by using a three-phase mode of operation. In a first mode, first and second capacitors are charged from an input voltage while a third capacitor drives the output voltage based on stored charge in the third capacitor. In a second mode, the output terminal is connected to the common node of the first and second capacitors. In a third mode, the voltage potential across the second capacitor is subtracted from the sum of the input voltage and the voltage potential across the first capacitor to generate the output voltage. Operated in this manner, the first, second, and third capacitors will provide the desired ⅔× voltage multiplication. This relatively low multiplication factor can be beneficial in applications requiring 2.5V and 1.8V supplies for integrated circuits, particularly where the input voltage is provided by a lithium battery.
