Product details
Overview
ADM660ARZ from Analog Devices is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter that inverts (+1.5 V to +7 V input → –1.5 V to –7 V output) or doubles (+2.5 V to +7 V input → +5 V to +14 V output) supply rails. It delivers up to 100 mA output current with ≤0.3 V dropout at 30 mA, 90–94% power efficiency, and selectable 25 kHz/120 kHz charge-pump frequency - used in op amp dual-rail supplies and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADM660ARZ datasheet, ADM660ARZ pinout, ADM660ARZ application, or ADM660ARZ equivalent, key selection criteria include inverting/doubling mode support, SOIC-8 package compatibility, shutdown absence (vs. ADM8660), external oscillator capability, and low-quiescent-current operation (600 µA typical).
Technical Context
The ADM660ARZ implements a two-phase switched-capacitor topology using internal MOSFET switches controlled by an on-chip oscillator. Its FC pin selects between 25 kHz (low IQ, 10 µF caps) and 120 kHz (lower impedance, 2.2 µF caps) charge-pump operation, while the OSC pin enables external clock or capacitor-based frequency tuning - enabling ripple and capacitor-size optimization.
Unlike the ADM8660, the ADM660ARZ supports voltage doubling via LV-to-OUT connection and external oscillator control, but lacks shutdown functionality. Its LV pin configures low-voltage operation (<3.5 V input requires LV = GND), and it maintains ≥90% efficiency across 1 mA–100 mA loads with input voltages from +1.5 V to +7 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5 V to +7 V - supports single-cell LiFePO₄, alkaline, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for dual op amp biasing or small analog front-ends without external boost stages. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6 mA typical - enables battery-powered operation with minimal standby drain. |
| Charge-Pump Frequency | Selectable 25 kHz or 120 kHz - determines external capacitor size (10 µF vs. 2.2 µF) and output impedance trade-off. |
| Output Resistance | 9 Ω to 15 Ω at 100 mA - defines load regulation error and voltage droop under dynamic current steps. |
| Power Efficiency | 90–94% at 1 kΩ load - ensures minimal thermal rise and high energy conversion in space-constrained designs. |
| Package | 8-Lead SOIC_N (R-8) - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly and legacy ICL7660 layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ADM660ARZ is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (R-8), measuring 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm × 1.75 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - FC | Frequency Control Input | Logic-level select: open = 25 kHz, V+ = 120 kHz - sets capacitor size and output impedance. |
| 2 - OUT | Output Terminal | Negative output in inverter mode; positive output in doubler mode - connects to load return or rail. |
| 3 - LV | Low-Voltage Mode Control | GND = optimized <3.5 V operation; open or OUT = >3.5 V or doubling mode - enables direct ICL7660 replacement. |
| 4 - OSC | External Oscillator Input | Accepts external clock (÷2 output) or timing capacitor - allows precise frequency tuning beyond 25/120 kHz. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive Supply Input | Main input rail (+1.5 V to +7 V); becomes output in doubler configuration - must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF. |
| 6 - CAP+ | Positive Charge-Pump Node | Connects to C1 anode - forms flying capacitor path during charge-transfer phase. |
| 7 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground reference for input, control logic, and capacitor return - shared with CAP– in inverter mode. |
| 8 - CAP– | Negative Charge-Pump Node | Connects to C1 cathode - completes flying capacitor loop; tied to GND in doubler mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting and doubling modes | Single IC replaces discrete charge-pump solutions for ±VCC generation or mid-rail boosting - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Selectable 25 kHz / 120 kHz operation | Enables optimal capacitor sizing: 10 µF (low ESR electrolytic) at 25 kHz or 2.2 µF (tantalum/ceramic) at 120 kHz - balances cost, size, and ripple. |
| External oscillator interface (OSC pin) | Supports precise frequency control via external clock or capacitor - critical for EMI-sensitive applications or synchronization with system clocks. |
| 0.3 V dropout at 30 mA | Ensures stable negative rail generation even under moderate load - avoids op amp headroom violations in precision signal chains. |
| Pin-compatible upgrade for MAX660/ICL7660 | Direct drop-in replacement in existing SOIC-8 footprints - eliminates PCB rework during obsolescence mitigation or performance upgrades. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter/doubler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX660CPA+ | Same SOIC-8 pinout, 100 mA rating, but 800 µA typical IQ and no OSC pin - fixed 25 kHz only. | Lacks external oscillator control and voltage doubling flexibility; lower efficiency at light loads. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs programmability and efficiency requirements. |
| ICL7660CBAZ | SOIC-8 compatible, 20 mA max output, no FC/OSC pins, 1.5 V minimum input - legacy part with higher dropout (0.8 V). | Not suitable for >20 mA loads or <3 V inputs; no frequency selection or doubling mode. | Select only for legacy repair or ultra-low-cost replacements where performance margins are relaxed. |
Compared with MAX660CPA+ and ICL7660CBAZ, the ADM660ARZ offers superior efficiency (90–94% vs. ≤85%), wider input range (+1.5 V min), full doubling capability, and external frequency control - making it the preferred choice for new designs requiring flexibility, low noise, and extended battery life.

FAQ
What are the valid input voltage ranges for ADM660ARZ in inverting versus doubling mode?
The ADM660ARZ accepts +1.5 V to +7 V in inverting mode (LV = GND or open). In doubling mode, input must be +2.5 V to +7 V with LV = OUT. Operation below +1.5 V or above +7 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. The ADM660ARZ datasheet specifies these ranges under "Input Voltage" in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can ADM660ARZ be used without external capacitors?
No - the ADM660ARZ requires two external low-ESR capacitors (C1 and C2) for charge-pump operation. Typical values are 10 µF at 25 kHz or 2.2 µF at 120 kHz. Omitting them prevents voltage conversion entirely. The ADM660ARZ relies on this external flying-capacitor topology; no internal storage capacitance exists.
Does ADM660ARZ support shutdown functionality like ADM8660?
No - the ADM660ARZ does not include a shutdown (SD) pin. That function is exclusive to the ADM8660 variant. The ADM660ARZ remains active whenever V+ is applied. To minimize power in idle states, system-level enable control must be implemented externally - for example, by gating V+ with a load switch.
What is the purpose of the LV pin on ADM660ARZ, and how should it be configured?
The LV pin on ADM660ARZ configures low-voltage operation: connect LV to GND for inputs <3.5 V to bypass internal regulation and optimize efficiency; leave open or tie to OUT for inputs ≥3.5 V or doubling mode. Incorrect LV configuration causes excessive dropout or failure to regulate - always verify per application voltage per the ADM660ARZ datasheet's Pin Function Descriptions.
Is ADM660ARZ pin-compatible with ICL7660, and what design considerations apply?
Yes - ADM660ARZ is pin-compatible with ICL7660 in SOIC-8 (R-8) packages and supports identical inverter configurations. However, ADM660ARZ adds FC and OSC pins (unconnected on ICL7660), so those pins must be left floating or tied appropriately. Layout reuse is possible, but verify LV pin handling and update bypassing per ADM660ARZ's lower dropout and higher efficiency.
