Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum. Switched capacitor voltage converters do not maintain high efficiency for a wide range of ratios of input to output voltages, unlike their switching regulator counterparts.
The control circuit consists of an oscillator and the switch drive signal generators. Most IC switched capacitor inverters and doublers contain all the control circuits as well as the switches and the oscillator. The pump capacitor, C1, and the load capacitor, C2, are external.
Switched capacitor inverters are low cost and compact and are capable of achieving efficiencies greater than 90%. Obviously, the current output is limited by the size of the capacitors and the current carrying capacity of the switches. Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum.
The most straightforward is to follow the switched capacitor inverter/doubler with a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator. The LDO provides the regulated output and also reduces the ripple of the switched capacitor converter. This approach, however, adds complexity and reduces the available output voltage by the dropout voltage of the LDO.
