Note 1 : Precautions on Load Connection
When a load is connected between GND in the first stage (or potential below GND in the second stage
other than that) and V
REG in the second stage as shown in Figure 8.4, pay attention to the following.
When a normal output is not available at the V
REG pin at the starting time or when the POFF signal turns
off V
REG, current may flows from GND in the first stage (or potential below GND in the second stage
other than that) to the V
REG pin in the second stage through the load and a voltage higher than the
absolute maximum rating below GND in the second stage may be generated at the V
REG pin. As a
result, the IC may not work normally. For series connection, connect the diode D1 between V
DD and
V
REG in the second stage as shown in Figure 8.4, so that no potential below GND in the second stage is
added to the V
REG pin.
Note 2 : Figure 8.4 shows 3 times step-up in the first stage and 4 times step-up in the next stage, but 4 times step-
up is possible both in the first stage and in the next stage unless the input voltage V
DD’-GND’ exceeds
the specification value (6.0V). This means that each IC in this series connection is requested t satisfy the
specification values (V
DD-GND ≤ 6, 0V, VO-GND ≤ 24V). (See Figure 8.5.)

Note 3 : 2 times step-up in the first stage allows using the CAP- output in the first stage as the next stage clock,
but 3 times step-up does not. Attach an external R
OSC as the next stage clock for internal oscillation.
Also, since the next stage external clock can operate according the CAP- output in the previous stage as
shown in Table 4.1 only when the temperature gradient C
T is -0.6%/˚C, use the internal oscillator in the
same way when other temperature gradients are necessary.
Note 4 : In case of series connection, the voltage V
DD-VREG (VREG’-VDD’ in Figure 8.5) of the IC, for which the
stabilization circuit operates, has temperature gradient. This means that V
REG changes at the following
rate as temperature changes:
