GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe ADP3607 is a 50 mA regulated output switched capacitor
voltage doubler. It provides a regulated output voltage with
minimum voltage loss and requires a minimum number of ex-
ternal components. In addition, the ADP3607 does not require
the use of an inductor.
The internal oscillator of the ADP3607 runs at 500 kHz nomi-
nal frequency, which produces an output switching frequency of
250 kHz. This allows for the use of smaller charge pump and
filter capacitors.
The ADP3607 provides an accuracy of –5% with a typical shut-
down current of 150 mA. It can also operate from a single posi-
tive input voltage as low as 3 V. The ADP3607 is offered with
the regulation fixed at 5 V, or adjustable via external resistors
over a 3 V to 9 V range.
ADP3607–SPECIFICATIONS1, 2, 3NOTESCapacitors CIN, CO and CP in the test circuit are 4.7 mF with 0.1 W ESR. Capacitors with higher ESR may reduce output voltage and efficiency.See Figure 1 conditions.All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.For the adjustable version, a 1% resistor should be used to maintain output voltage tolerance. For both device types, tolerances can be improved by >1% using larger
value and lower ESR capacitors for CO and CP.

NOTESThis is a stress rating only, operation beyond these limits can cause the device to be

CAUTIONESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADP3607 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATIONThe ADP3607 uses a switched capacitor principle to generate
a regulated boost voltage from a positive input voltage. An
on-board oscillator generates a two-phase clock to control a
switching network that transfers charge between the storage
capacitors. The switches turn on and off at a 250 kHz rate that
is generated from an internal 500 kHz oscillator. The basic
principle behind the voltage conversion scheme is illustrated in
Figures 14 and 15.
S1VINVOUTS4CPFigure 14.ADP3607 Switch Configuration Charging the
Pump Capacitor
During phase one, S1 and S3 are ON, charging the pump ca-
pacitor to the input voltage. Before the next phase begins, S1
and S3 are turned OFF, as are S2 and S4 to prevent any over-
lap. S2 and S4 are turned ON during the second phase (see
Figure 15) and charge stored in the pump capacitor is trans-
ferred to the output capacitor.
VINVOUTFigure 15.ADP3607 Switch Configuration Charging the
Output Capacitor
During the second phase, the negative terminal of the pump
capacitor is connected to VIN through variable resistance switch
S4, and the positive terminal is connected to the output, result-
ing in a voltage shift at the output terminal. The ADP3607
block diagram is shown on the front page.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Capacitor SelectionThe ADP3607’s high internal oscillator frequency permits the
use of small capacitors for both the pump and the output ca-
When selecting the capacitors, keep in mind that not all manu-
facturers guarantee capacitor ESR in the range required by the
circuit. In general, the capacitor’s ESR is inversely proportional
to its physical size, so larger capacitance values and higher volt-
age ratings tend to reduce ESR. Since the ESR is also a function
of the operating frequency, when selecting a capacitor make sure
its value is rated at the circuit’s operating frequency. Another
factor affecting capacitor performance is temperature.
Figure 16 illustrates the temperature effect on various capaci-
tors. If the circuit has to operate at temperatures significantly
different from +25°C, the capacitance and ESR values must be
carefully selected to adequately compensate for the change.
Various capacitor technologies offer improved performance over
temperature; for example, certain tantalum capacitors provide
good low temperature ESR but at a higher cost. Table II pro-
vides the ratings for different types of capacitor technologies to
help the designer select the right capacitors for the application.
The exact values of CIN and CO are not critical. However, low
ESR capacitors such as solid tantalum and multilayer ceramic
capacitors are recommended to minimize voltage loss at high
currents. Table III shows a partial list of the recommended low
ESR capacitor manufacturers.

and ESR
Input CapacitorA small 1 mF input bypass capacitor (preferably with low ESR)
such as tantalum or multilayer ceramic, is recommended to
reduce noise and supply transients, and supply part of the peak
input current drawn by the ADP3607. A large capacitor is rec-
ommended if the input supply is connected to the ADP3607
through long leads, or if the pulse current drawn by the device
might affect other circuitry through supply coupling.
Output CapacitorThe output capacitor (CO) is alternately charged to the CP volt-
age when CP is switched in parallel with CO. The ESR of CO
introduces steps in the VOUT waveform whenever the charge
pump charges CO, which contributes to VOUT ripple. Thus,
ceramic or tantalum capacitors are recommended for CO to
minimize ripple on the output. Figure 17 illustrates the output
ripple voltage effect for various capacitance and ESR values.
