General Description
• Improved ESD Protection (10 kV HBM)
The TC7660S device is a pin-compatible replacement
for the industry standard 7660 charge pump voltage
converter. It converts a +1.5V to +12V input to a corre-
sponding -1.5V to -12V output using only two low-cost
capacitors, eliminating inductors and their associated
cost, size and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Added features include an extended supply range to
12V, and a frequency boost pin for higher operating fre-
quency, allowing the use of smaller external capacitors.
• No External Diode Required for High-Voltage
Operation
Applications
• RS-232 Negative Power Supply
• Simple Conversion of +5V to ±5V Supplies
• Voltage Multiplication VOUT = ± n V+
• Negative Supplies for Data Acquisition Systems
and Instrumentation
The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal fre-
quency of 10 kHz. Frequency is increased to 45 kHz
when pin 1 is connected to V+. Operation below 10 kHz
(for lower supply current applications) is possible by
connecting an external capacitor from OSC to ground
(with pin 1 open).
The TC7660S is available in 8-Pin PDIP and 8-Pin
Small Outline (SOIC) packages in commercial and
extended temperature ranges.
