LM2665
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
General Description
The LM2665 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter oper-
ates as a voltage doubler for an input voltage in the range of
+2.5V to +5.5V. Two low cost capacitors and a diode
(needed during start-up) are used in this circuit to provide up
to 40 mA of output current. The LM2665 can also work as a
voltage divider to split a voltage in the range of +1.8V to
+11V in half.
The LM2665 operates at 160 kHz oscillator frequency to re-
duce output resistance and voltage ripple. With an operating
current of only 650 µA (operating efficiency greater than 90%
with most loads) and 1µA typical shutdown current, the
LM2665 provides ideal performance for battery powered
systems. The device is in SOT-23-6 package.
