Rainbow Electronics MAX1681 - Manual (Page 9)

Combined Doubler and Inverter
Figure 3 shows a single MAX1680/MAX1681 as an
inverter and a doubler. The maximum output current is
the sum of the loads on the two outputs and is still limit-
ed to 125mA. As the device is loaded, the output volt-
ages move toward ground. In this particular
configuration, connect LV to GND (inverter). The diodes
used in the circuit cause a drop of approximately 0.7V
in the doubler’s output voltage, impacting efficiency.
Compatibility with the MAX660 and
MAX860/MAX861
The MAX1680/MAX1681 can be used in place of the
MAX860/MAX861, except for the SHDN and FSEL pins.
The MAX1680/MAX1681 shut down with a high input
voltage, compared with the MAX860/MAX861. The
MAX1680/MAX1681 have only two frequency choices.
Replacing the MAX660 with the MAX1680/MAX1681
involves a wiring change, as the external oscillator pin
is replaced by the shutdown feature. Table 5 compares
the devices.
