DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION P I 2 R I 2 The NCP1729 charge pump converter inverts the voltage LOSS(2,3,4) out out out applied to the Vin pin. Conversion consists of a two−phase 1 operation (Figure 15). During the first phase, switches S 8R 4ESR ESR 2 (f )C SWITCH C C OSC 1 1 2 and S4 are open and S1 and S3 are closed. During this time, C1 charges to the voltage on Vin and load current is supplied (eq. 1) from C2. During the second phase, S2 and S4 are closed, and The 1/(fOSC)(C1) term in Equation 1 is the effective output S1 and S3 are open. This action connects C1 across C2, resistance of an ideal switched capacitor circuit (Figures 16 restoring charge to C2. and 17). The losses due to charge transfer above are also shown in S1 S2 Equation 2. The output voltage ripple is given by Equation 3.
