This IC is based on a unique SANYO idea and is a high-efficiency charge pump IC that was newly-developed taking advantage
of CMOS technologies that fuse SANYO's circuit and process technologies. This IC is optimal for power supplies in portable
electronic equipment.
This IC introduces technologies that completely overturn the previous common knowledge that although charge pump circuits
were low noise, they suffered from poor efficiency.

Support for High-Resolution CCDs
New Charge Pump ICs
CCD image sensors require a high drive voltage of 10 to 20 V. This 10 to 20 V level is created by stepping up the 3 V
power supply level.
Since conventional charge pump voltage step-up technologies suffer from increased power loss when used to step up
the original voltage by over three times, their use in cell phones was problematic.
SANYO has, however, discovered a way of fusing their high level analog circuit and device technologies to overcome
this problem.
This new charge pump technology can step up a regulated voltage by a factor of three or higher with an efficiency as
high as 70%. Furthermore it can provide an output current of several tens of mA.
SANYO was the first in the industry to develop a high-performance charge pump.
This new charge pump technology can provide both positive and negative stepped up levels, can be combined into
multiple stages, and can provide multiple output levels. Thus this circuit technology is optimal for use in future camera
cell phones that include a megapixel-class CCD image sensor.
