Serial Connection
Connecting two or more chips in series obtains a higher
output voltage than can be obtained using a parallel
<Precautions when connecting loads>
In case of series connections, when connecting loads
between the first stage V
DD (or other potential of the
second stage V
DD or up) and the second stage VREG as
shown in Fig. 2-13, be cautions about the following
point.
* When normal output is not occurring at the V
REG ter-
minal such as at times of starting up or when turning
the V
REG off by POFF signals, if current flows into the
second stage V
REG terminal through the load from
connection, however, this also raises the output imped-
ance.
the first stage VDD (or other potential of the second
stage V
DD or up) to cause a voltage exceeding the
absolute maximum rating for the second stage V
DD at
the V
REG terminal, normal operation of the IC may be
hampered. Consequently, When making a series
connection, insert a diode D1 between the second
stage V
I and VREG as shown in Fig. 2-13 so that a
voltage exceeding the second stage V
DD or up may
not be applied to the V
REG terminal.
Positive Voltage Conversion
Adding diodes converts a negative voltage to a positive
one.
To convert the voltage tripler shown earlier to a voltage
doubler, remove C2 and D2, and short circuit D3. Small
Schottky diodes are recommended for all these diodes.
The resulting voltage is lowered by V
F, the voltage drop
in the forward direction for each diode used. For ex-
ample, if V
DD = 0V, VI = –5V, and VF = 0.6V, the re-
sulting voltages would be as follows.
• For a voltage tripler,
V
O = 10 – (3 × 0.6) = 8.2V
• For a voltage doubler,
V
O = 5 – (2 × 0.6) = 3.8V
