be symmetrical. Older charge pump approaches

the inherent inefficiencies in the design.

The clock rate for the charge pump typically

operates at 15kHz. The external capacitors must

be 0.1

µF with a 16V breakdown rating.

External Power Supplies

For applications that do not require +5V only,

external supplies can be applied at the V+ and

ages must be no greater than

±l0V. The current

drain for the

±10V supplies is used for RS-232.

For the RS-232 driver the current requirement

will be 3.5mA per driver. The external power

supplies should provide a power supply se-

quence of :+l0V, then +5V, followed by –l0V.
