BOOSTER FUNCTION
The voltage booster is an unregulated voltage tripler
Pin 1 & 2 Waveforms
circuit. The tripler consists of three sets of internal switches
and three external capacitors. S1a and S1b charge capaci-
tor C1 to VDD potential. S2a and S2b add C1 potential to VDD
input to charge C2 to 2 x VDD. S3a and S3b add C1 potential
to C2 to charge C3 to 3 x VDD. The position of the switches
is controlled by the internal 4 phase clock.
