Theory of Operation
The SP334 is made up of four separate
circuit blocks — the charge pump, drivers,
receivers, and decoder. Each of these circuit
blocks is described in more detail below.
Charge–Pump
The charge pump is a Exar–patented design
(U.S. 5,306,954) and uses a unique approach
compared to older less efficient designs.
The charge pump still requires four external
capacitors, but uses a four–phase voltage
shifting technique to attain symmetrical 10V
power supplies. Figure 17(a) shows the
waveform found on the positive side of
capacitor C2, and Figure 17(b) shows the
negative side of capacitor C2. There is a
free–running oscillator that controls the four
phases of the voltage shifting. A description
of each phase follows.
Phase 1
— VSS charge storage —During this phase of
the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors
C1 and C2 are initially charged to +5V. C1+ is
then switched to ground and charge on
C1– is transferred to C2–. Since C2+ is con-
nected to +5V, the voltage potential across
capacitor C2 is now 10V.
Phase 2
— VSS transfer — Phase two of the clock con-
nects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS
storage capacitor and the positive terminal
of C2 to ground, and transfers the generated
–l0V to C3. Simultaneously, the positive side
of capacitor C 1 is switched to +5V and the
negative side is connected to ground.
Phase 3
— VDD charge storage — The third phase
of the clock is identical to the first phase
— the charge transferred in C1 produces
–5V in the negative terminal of C1, which
is applied to the negative side of capacitor
C2. Since C2+ is at +5V, the voltage potential
across C2 is l0V.
Phase 4
— VDD transfer — The fourth phase of the
clock connects the negative terminal of C2
