PRODUCTION DATA
For minimum output voltage ripple, the output capacitor (COUT) must be a surface-mount ceramic capacitor. Tantalum capacitors generally have a higher effective series resistance (ESR) and can contribute to higher output voltage ripple. Leaded capacitors also increase ripple due to the higher inductance of the package. To achieve the best operation with low input voltage and high load current, the input and flying capacitors (CIN and CF, respectively) must also be surface-mount ceramic types.
Figure 7-2 CapacitorsGenerally, CFLY can be calculated using Equation 2.
Both equation must be the same,
If ILOAD = 140mA, f = 1.5MHz, and ΔVCFLY = 100mV, the minimum value of the flying capacitor must be 1 μF.
Output capacitance, COUT, is also strongly related to output ripple voltage and loop stability,
The minimum output capacitance for all output levels is 2.2μF due to control stability. Larger ceramic capacitors or low ESR capacitors can be used to lower the output ripple voltage.

The efficiency of the charge pump regulator varies with the output voltage, the applied input voltage and the load current.
Use Equation 5 and Equation 6 to calculate the approximate efficiency in normal operating mode is given by:
