Charge Pump and switched capacitor circuit

I have used switched capacitor charge pumps in many designs for a low current negative supply. Converting +5v to -5v for example.

Only one ic is required.

In operation, an oscillator drives some analog switches that toggle between the input and output of the supply. The capacitor is first connected to the input (+5v) an then switched to the output of the supply except with the positive side of the switched capacitor connected to ground. The negative side of the capacitor is switched to the negative side of the supplies output. This results in a negative output voltage. An output capacitor is used to hold the charge up during the switch cycles.

Switched capacitor designs are also used for filters, this is much more involved.

Thanks for your reply !!!
I also want to know that is there any difference between switched capacitor and charge pump circuit.

Hello,

Charge pump circuits are mainly used as DC-DC converters:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_pump
https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/725
Switched capacitor circuits can be used as filters:

For the switched capacitor filter circuits, you can also have a look at the attached LMF100 datasheet.

Thank you so much !!!
