Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2)
and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245’s internal
power supply consists of a regulated dual charge
pump that provides output voltages of +5.5V (doubling
charge pump) and -5.5V (inverting charge pump), over
the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge pump operates
in discontinuous mode: if the output voltages are less
than 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled; if the output
The READY output (MAX3224–MAX3227) is low when
the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown mode. The
READY signal asserts high when V- goes below -4V.
