DESCRIPTIO
The LTC1144 is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor
voltage converter. It performs supply voltage conversion
from positive to negative from an input range of 2V to 18V,
resulting in complementary output voltages of –2V to
–18V. Only two noncritical external capacitors are needed
for the charge pump and charge reservoir functions.
The converter has an internal oscillator that can be
overdriven by an external clock or slowed down when
connected to a capacitor. The oscillator runs at a 10kHz
frequency when unloaded. A higher frequency outside the
audio band can also be obtained if the Boost Pin is tied to
V ⁺. The SHDN pin reduces supply current to 8µA and can
be used to save power when the converter is not in use.
The LTC1144 contains an internal oscillator, divide-by-
two, voltage level shifter, and four power MOSFETs. A
special logic circuit will prevent the power N-channel
switch substrate from turning on.
