They are direct replacements for the industry standard ICL7660 offering an extended operating supply • Wide Operating Voltage Range: 1.5V to 12V voltage range up to 12V, with lower supply current. A • 100% Tested at 3V Frequency Boost pin has been incorporated to enable the user to achieve lower output impedance despite using smaller • Boost Pin (Pin 1) for Higher Switching Frequency capacitors. All improvements are highlighted in the “Electrical • Ensured Minimum Power Efficiency of 96% Specifications” section on page 3. Critical parameters are • Improved Minimum Open Circuit Voltage Conversion ensured over the entire commercial and industrial Efficiency of 99% temperature ranges. • Improved SCR Latchup Protection The ICL7660S and ICL7660A perform supply voltage conversions from positive to negative for an input range of • Simple Conversion of +5V Logic Supply to ±5V Supplies 1.5V to 12V, resulting in complementary output voltages of • Simple Voltage Multiplication VOUT = (-)nVIN -1.5V to -12V. Only two non-critical external capacitors are needed, for the charge pump and charge reservoir functions. • Easy to Use; Requires Only Two External Non-Critical Passive Components The ICL7660S and ICL7660A can be connected to function as a voltage doubler and will generate up to 22.8V with a • Improved Direct Replacement for Industry Standard 12V input. They can also be used as a voltage multipliers or ICL7660 and Other Second Source Devices voltage dividers. • Pb-Free Available (RoHS Compliant) Each chip contains a series DC power supply regulator, RC Applications oscillator, voltage level translator, and four output power MOS switches. The oscillator, when unloaded, oscillates at a • Simple Conversion of +5V to ±5V Supplies nominal frequency of 10kHz for an input supply voltage of • Voltage Multiplication V 5.0V. This frequency can be lowered by the addition of an OUT = ±nVIN external capacitor to the “OSC” terminal, or the oscillator • Negative Supplies for Data Acquisition Systems and may be over-driven by an external clock. Instrumentation The “LV” terminal may be tied to GND to bypass the internal • RS232 Power Supplies series regulator and improve low voltage (LV) operation. At • Supply Splitter, VOUT = ±VS medium to high voltages (3.5V to 12V), the LV pin is left floating to prevent device latchup. In some applications, an external Schottky diode from VOUT to CAP- is needed to ensure latchup free operation (see Do’s and Dont’s section on page 8).
