7.1.10 Charge Pump Operation

As discussed in the Charge Pump Enable and BIAS Rail section, the internal charge pump is enabled or disabled using the CP_EN pin. Thus, allowing for operation as low as 1.1V without a BIAS rail.

The CP_EN pin voltage threshold and hysteresis are defined in the Electrical Characteristics table.

Depending on the circuit implementation, the internal charge pump is powered from either the IN or the BIAS rails. This pin is not designed to be digitally controlled with a digital I/O pin. Instead, this pin is intended to be tied on the printed circuit board (PCB) to an analog rail.

Although not intended to be controlled dynamically, the CP_EN pin is controlled with a low impedance source. Make sure to provide adequate sequencing between EN and CP_EN because the CP_EN pin is latched when the EN pin is turned on. Only an EN reset or a power cycle clears and resets the CP_EN latch.

Figure 7-9 shows the switching frequency of the charge pump at no-load and full load.
