circuitry is turned off.
The MAX860/MAX861 capacitive charge pumps either
invert or double the voltage applied to their inputs. For
highest performance, use low equivalent series resis-
tance (ESR) capacitors. See the Capacitor Selection
section for more details. The frequency-control (FC) pin
allows you to choose one of three switching frequen-
cies; these three selectable frequencies are different for
each device. When shut down, MAX860/MAX861 cur-
rent consumption reduces to less than 1µA.
In the inverting configuration, loads connected from
OUT to GND are not powered in shutdown mode.
However, a reverse-current path exists through two
diodes between OUT and GND; therefore, loads con-
nected from V

Common Applications
pin draw current from the input supply through a path
similar to that of the inverting configuration (described
above).
Voltage Inverter
The most common application for these devices is a
charge-pump voltage inverter (see Typical Operating
Circuits). This application requires only two external com-
ponents—capacitors C1 and C2—plus a bypass capacitor
if necessary (see Bypass Capacitor section). Refer to the
Capacitor Selection section for suggested capacitor types
and values.
Frequency Control
Charge-pump frequency for both devices can be set to
one of three values. Each device has a unique set of
three available frequencies, as indicated in Table 1.
The oscillator and charge-pump frequencies are the
same (i.e., the charge-pump frequency is not half the
oscillator frequency, as it is on the MAX660, MAX665,
and ICL7660).
Even though the MAX860/MAX861’s output is not actively
regulated, it is fairly insensitive to load-current changes. A
circuit output source resistance of 12Ω (calculated using
the formula given in the Capacitor Selection section)
means that, with a +5V input, the output voltage is -5V
under no load and decreases to -4.4V with a 50mA load.
The MAX860/MAX861 output source resistance (used to
calculate the circuit output source resistance) vs. tempera-
ture and supply voltage are shown in the Typical
Operating Characteristics graphs.

Positive Voltage Doubler
The MAX860/MAX861 can also operate as positive volt-
age doublers (see Typical Operating Circuits). This
application requires only two external components,
capacitors C1 and C2. The no-load output is twice the
input voltage. The electrical specifications in the doubler
mode are very similar to those of the inverter mode
except for the Supply Voltage Range (see Electrical
Characteristics table) and No-Load Supply Current (see
graph in Typical Operating Characteristics). The circuit
output source resistance and output ripple voltage are
calculated using the formulas in the Capacitor Selection
section.
A higher switching frequency minimizes capacitor size
for the same performance and increases the supply
current (Table 2). The lowest fundamental frequency of
the switching noise is equal to the minimum specified
switching frequency (e.g., 3kHz for the MAX860 with FC
open). The spectrum of noise frequencies extends
above this value because of harmonics in the switching
waveform. To get best noise performance, choose the
device and FC connection to select a minimum switch-
ing frequency that lies above your sensitive bandwidth.
Low-Voltage-Operation Input
LV should be connected to GND for inverting operation.
To enhance compatibility with the MAX660, MAX665, and
ICL7660, you may float LV if the input voltage exceeds 3V.
In doubling mode, LV must be connected to OUT for all
input voltages.
