Input Supply Bypassing
TheVIN input should be capacitively bypassed to reduce
AC impedance and minimize noise effects due to the
devices internal switching. It is recommended that a large
value capacitor (at least equal to C1) be connected from VIN
to GND for optimal circuit performance.
Shutdown Input
The TC1682, TC1683 and TC1684 are enabled when
SHDN is low, and disabled when SHDN is high. This input
cannot be allowed to float. (If SHDN is not required, see the
TC2682/2683/2684 data sheet.) The SHDN input should be
limited to 0.3V above VIN.
Inverting Voltage Doubler
The most common application for the TC1682/1683/
1684 devices is the inverting voltage doubler (Figure 2).
This application uses three external capacitors: C1, C2, and
COUT (NOTE: a power supply bypass capacitor is recom-
mended). The output is equal to –2VIN plus any voltage
drop due to loading. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for capacitor
selection guidelines.
Layout Considerations
As with any switching power supply circuit, good layout
practice is recommended. Mount components as close
together as possible to minimize stray inductance and
capacitance. Also use a large ground plane to minimize
noise leakage into other circuitry.

TC1682 DEMO CARD
The TC1682 DEMO Card is a 2.0” x 2.0” card containing
both a TC1682 and a TC682 that allow the user to compare
the operation of each approach for generating a –2X func-
tion.
Each circuit is fully assembled with the required
external capacitors along with variable load resistors that
allow the user to vary the output load current of each stage.
For convenience, several test points and jumpers are avail-
able for measuring various voltages and currents on the
demo board.
TC1682 DEMO CARD ASSEMBLY
Figure 3 is a schematic of the TC1682 DEMO Card, and
Figure 4 shows the assembly drawing and artwork for the
board. Table 3 lists the voltages that are monitored by the
test points and Table 4 lists the currents that can be
measured using the jumpers.
