8.1 Charge Pump

The Charge Pump uses the external flying capacitor CFLY to generate output voltages higher than the battery voltage. There are two different

operating modes of the charge pump itself:



1:1 Bypass Mode

- Battery input and output are connected by a low-impedance switch

- battery current = output current.



1:2 Mode

- The output voltage is up to 2 times the battery voltage (without load), but is limited to VCPOUTmax all the time

- battery current = 2 times output current

Figure 22. Charge Pump Block Diagram .

As the battery voltage decreases, the Charge Pump must be switched from 1:1 mode to 1:2 mode in order to provide enough supply for the

current sinks. Depending on the actual current the mode with best overall efficiency can be automatically or manually selected:

The charge pump mode switching can be done manually or automatically with the following possible software settings:



Automatic

- Start with 1:1 mode

- Switch up automatically to 1:2 mode



Manual

- Set modes 1:1 and 1:2 by software

The Charge Pump requires the external components listed in the following table:

Note:

The connections of the external capacitors CVCPOUT and CFLY should be kept as short as possible.
