DESCRIPTION

The LM2681 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter

operates as a voltage doubler for an input voltage in

the range of +2.5V to +5.5V. Two low cost capacitors

and a diode (needed during start-up) is used in this

circuit to provide up to 20 mA of output current. The

LM2681 can also work as a voltage divider to split a

voltage in the range of +1.8V to +11V in half.

The LM2681 operates at 160 kHz oscillator frequency

to reduce output resistance and voltage ripple. With

an operating current of only 550 μA (operating

efficiency greater than 90% with most loads) the

LM2681 provides ideal performance for battery

powered systems. The device is in a SOT-23, 6-lead package.
