uMAX DC / DC Inductorless Charge Pumps:

element14 offers an exclusive range of DC-DC inductorless charge pumps. These ultra-compact solutions feature low electromagnetic interference (EMI), reduced component count, cost-effective implementation, and high integration capability. 

DC-DC inductorless pumps use capacitors and switches to transfer energy, making them ideal for space-constrained applications and cost-sensitive designs. They can perform voltage doubling, inverting, or fractional conversion with negligible external components, significantly reducing board space and BOM costs. They can operate with minimal quiescent current. 

Modern charge pump ICs feature multiple operating modes for efficiency optimization, Integrated protection circuits, Programmable output voltages, low quiescent current, and automatic mode switching. These devices offer an excellent alternative to traditional inductor-based converters in applications where size and simplicity are paramount. The technology continues to advance with improvements in power conversion efficiency, output current capability, regulation performance, power density, and Integration levels.
