phases of the voltage shifting. A description of
each phase follows.

The clock rate for the charge pump typically
operates at 15kHz. The external capacitors can
be as low as 0.1µF with a 16V breakdown
voltage rating.
The SP200 Series devices are made up of three
basic circuit blocks — 1) transmitter/driver, 2)
receiver and 3) the Sipex proprietary charge
