Talk:Charge pump

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article only mentions DC/DC conversion as an application for a CP. A different kind of CP is an important part of for example a PLL.

I came to this page looking for discussion of CP's for DC/DC conversion, so I would rather see it expounded on than merged with something else.

[edit] External links?

I am going to recommend that the external links be flagged as Commercial Content, since all of them point to a single commercial site; possibly the article was prepared by an employee of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., or by one singularly unimaginitive engineer or hobbyist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seattlecrow (talk • contribs).

[edit] Neon signs

I'm fairly sure neon signs don't use charge pumps, but rather switch-mode power supplies. I have removed the statement as unreferenced. If anyone has a reference to such please link it. Evand 23:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Are not charge pumps a form of switch-mode power supply? I would think articles on switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC power conversion should link here. But I am not an expert in this field. --Treekids (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need a picture

We need a sample circuit here, and perhaps some scope traces. At the moment this article is very abstract and hard for a newbie to comprehend. We need something that builds a picture in the mind. --Treekids (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
