detailed description
operating principle
The TPS6024x charge pump is a fixed-frequency, dual-phase charge pump that provides 25 mA of continuous
supply current for low-noise applications such as VCOs used in cell phones and wireless appliances.
Low-noise operation results from using a proprietary dual-phase charge pump topology that relies on an
operational amplifier in the feedback loop to reduce ripple. During the first phase, C
1
is charged to the supply
voltage. Terminal C
1+
is connected to V
IN
, and C
1
–
is connected to GND. In the second phase, C
1
–
is connected
to the output of the operational amplifier, and C
1+
is connected to V
OUT
. The operational amplifier then adjusts
its output until the output V
OUT
delivers the correct voltage to make the resistor divided feedback point equal
to the reference voltage. During this second phase, C
2
is charged to supply voltage. Terminal C
2
–
is connected
to GND, and C
2+
is connected to V
IN
. Phase one is then repeated with C
2
, now acting to provide charge to the
output in place of C
1
, which is connected to the supply. The dual-phase operation lowers the output ripple
voltage significantly compared to a standard single-phase charge pump. In addition, the linear feedback of the
operational amplifier eliminates the ripple during discharge of the output capacitor (C
O
).
shutdown
Driving EN low disables the converter. This disables the internal circuits and reduces input current to typically
0.1
μ
A. In this mode, the load is disconnected from the supply voltage. The device exits shutdown once EN is
set to a high level.
start-up procedure
The converter is enabled when EN is set from logic low to high. The start-up time to reach 90% of the nominal
output voltage is typically 0.5 ms at load currents lower than 10 mA and with an output capacitor of 1
μ
F.
Increasing the values of C
O
delays the start-up time.
