Product details
Overview
ADM8660ARZ from Analog Devices is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage inverter IC that generates a regulated negative output (–VIN) from a +1.5 V to +7 V input supply, delivering up to 100 mA output current with 90% efficiency at 50 mA, and featuring a shutdown pin (SD) for <0.3 µA quiescent current - used in portable op amp power supplies and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADM8660ARZ datasheet, ADM8660ARZ pinout, ADM8660ARZ application, or ADM8660ARZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting-only operation (no doubling), 25/120 kHz selectable charge-pump frequency, 16-lead TSSOP package compatibility, and shutdown-controlled power gating for battery-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The ADM8660ARZ implements a two-phase switched-capacitor topology using internal MOSFET switches controlled by an on-chip oscillator, with FC pin selecting between 25 kHz (GND) and 120 kHz (V+) charge-pump frequency to optimize external capacitor size (10 µF or 2.2 µF). It lacks oscillator control (OSC) but includes SD pin for logic-level shutdown.
Unlike the ADM660, the ADM8660ARZ omits voltage-doubling capability and external oscillator interface; its LV pin configures low-voltage operation (<3.5 V), and output regulation relies solely on charge transfer efficiency, internal switch RDS(on), and external capacitor ESR - not feedback or error amplifiers.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Function | Voltage inverter only (–VIN output); no doubling mode |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5 V to +7 V - supports single-supply systems requiring negative rails |
| Output Current | 100 mA max - sufficient for dual-rail op amps and analog signal chains |
| Charge-Pump Frequency | Selectable 25 kHz (FC = GND) or 120 kHz (FC = V+) - determines capacitor sizing and ripple |
| Shutdown Current | 0.3 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in portable devices |
| Efficiency | 90–94% at 50 mA load - high conversion efficiency reduces thermal load and extends battery life |
| Output Resistance | 9–15 Ω at 100 mA, 25°C - defines voltage droop under dynamic load |
Pinout & Package
ADM8660ARZ is housed in a 16-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP, RU-16), RoHS-compliant, with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 marked, JEDEC MO-153-AB compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX660CPA+ | 8-pin DIP/SOIC; no shutdown; fixed 10 kHz oscillator; 50 mA max output | Lacks SD pin and higher output current - unsuitable for battery-gated systems | Choose only if legacy footprint compatibility and lower cost outweigh shutdown and current needs |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | 8-pin PDIP; no shutdown; 20 mA max output; higher quiescent current (1.2 mA) | Lower output capability and no power gating - limited to low-current analog biasing | Select when retrofitting older designs where SD and >20 mA are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for the ADM8660ARZ?
The ADM8660ARZ delivers up to 100 mA of continuous output current into a resistive load while maintaining ≥80% power efficiency. This rating applies across the full input voltage range (+1.5 V to +7 V) and operating temperature (–40°C to +85°C), with output resistance specified at 9–15 Ω at 100 mA and 25°C. Performance degrades above 100 mA due to thermal limits and internal switch saturation.
Can the ADM8660ARZ be used to double the input voltage like the ADM660?
No, the ADM8660ARZ is strictly a voltage inverter and cannot perform voltage doubling. Its internal architecture omits the OSC pin and associated circuitry required for doubling mode. The datasheet explicitly states "ADM8660: Inverts Input Supply Voltage" and confirms doubling is exclusive to the ADM660. Attempting doubling configurations will result in no valid output or device malfunction.
What is the correct configuration for the OSC pin on the ADM8660ARZ?
The OSC pin (Pin 2) on the ADM8660ARZ must be left unconnected - it is not functional and has no internal connection. Unlike the ADM660, the ADM8660ARZ replaces OSC with the SD (shutdown) pin (Pin 13). Connecting OSC to any voltage violates the absolute maximum ratings and may cause latch-up or permanent damage.
How does the LV pin affect performance of the ADM8660ARZ?
The LV pin on the ADM8660ARZ configures internal regulator behavior: connecting LV to GND optimizes operation below 3.5 V input, improving efficiency and output regulation; leaving LV open enables direct substitution for legacy ICL7660 designs at ≥3.5 V. Incorrect LV configuration causes excessive dropout or instability - especially critical in 1.5–3.0 V battery-powered applications.
What external capacitors are required for stable operation of the ADM8660ARZ?
The ADM8660ARZ requires two low-ESR electrolytic capacitors: C1 (charge pump) and C2 (output filter), both rated ≤0.2 Ω ESR. For 25 kHz operation (FC = GND), 10 µF capacitors are recommended; for 120 kHz (FC = V+), 2.2 µF suffices. Ceramic capacitors are unsuitable due to insufficient capacitance retention under bias - use aluminum or tantalum types with rated voltage ≥1.5× VIN.
