Shutdown
The MAX768 has two active-low, TTL logic-level shut-
down inputs:
PSHDN and NSHDN. When both inputs
are pulled low, the MAX768 shuts down and the supply
current is reduced to 10µA max over temperature.
Pulling
PSHDN low turns off the positive linear regula-
tor; the doubler charge pump remains active. Pulling
the
NSHDN input low while PSHDN remains high turns
off the inverter charge pump, the negative linear regula-
tor, and the output-ready indicator (Table 1).
Capacitors
The overall dropout voltage is a function of the charge
pump’s output resistance and the voltage drop across
the linear regulator. The charge-pump output resistance
is a function of the switching frequency and the capaci-
tor’s ESR value. Therefore, minimizing the charge-pump
capacitors’ ESR minimizes dropout voltage.
See Table 2 for capacitor selection. All capacitors
should be either surface-mount ceramic chip or tanta-
lum. External capacitor values may be adjusted to opti-
mize size, performance, and cost.
