Product details
Overview
ICL7660AIBAZA-T from Intersil (now Renesas) is a monolithic CMOS charge-pump voltage converter IC that generates regulated negative output voltages from 1.5V to 12V positive inputs, delivering -1.5V to -12V outputs with only two external capacitors. It features a 10kHz nominal oscillator, Boost pin (Pin 1) for 3.5× frequency scaling, and operates across -40°C to +85°C for industrial RS-232 and data acquisition power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7660AIBAZA-T datasheet, ICL7660AIBAZA-T pinout, ICL7660AIBAZA-T application, or ICL7660AIBAZA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 96% power efficiency at 5kΩ load, 60Ω typical output source resistance at 20mA, LV pin for low-voltage bypass, and Pb-free SOIC-8 package compatibility with wave soldering.
Technical Context
The ICL7660AIBAZA-T integrates an internal series regulator, RC oscillator, voltage level translator, and four MOS power switches (one P-channel, three N-channel) to implement a switched-capacitor negative voltage conversion topology. Its substrate bias logic network actively senses VOUT to prevent SCR latchup during startup and short-circuit conditions.
Operation supports multiple configurations: inverting mode (VOUT = –VIN), voltage doubling (VOUT ≈ 2VIN), cascaded multiplication, and supply splitting. The BOOST pin enables higher switching frequency to reduce output impedance when using smaller external capacitors-critical for space-constrained industrial instrumentation designs.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5V to 12V input; supports direct +5V-to-±5V rail generation without external regulators |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10kHz nominal (free-running at 5V); boosted to ~35kHz when Pin 1 tied to V+ |
| Output Source Resistance | 60Ω typical at 20mA/5V; defines maximum load regulation error and ripple under dynamic current |
| Power Efficiency | 96% minimum at 5kΩ load; ensures minimal thermal rise in enclosed industrial enclosures |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C industrial range; validated across full range for data acquisition and sensor front-ends |
| Package | 8-lead SOIC (N), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant; M8.15 footprint compatible with standard reflow/wave processes |
| LV Pin Function | Tie to GND below 3.5V input to bypass internal regulator and improve low-VIN efficiency |
Pinout & Package
ICL7660AIBAZA-T is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (N) package per drawing M8.15, with 1.27mm lead pitch and Pb-free matte tin terminations compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BOOST) | Oscillator frequency control input | Connect to V+ to increase fOSC ~3.5×; reduces output impedance for compact capacitor layouts |
| 2 (CAP+) | Charge pump capacitor connection | Anode of primary pump capacitor C1; polarity critical for polarized electrolytics |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; must be low-impedance |
| 4 (CAP–) | Charge reservoir capacitor connection | Cathode of reservoir capacitor C2; connects to VOUT through internal switch network |

| 6 (OSC) | Oscillator timing node | Accepts external capacitor to lower frequency or external clock (via 1kΩ series resistor) |
| 7 (LV) | Low-voltage bypass control | Must be tied to GND for V+ < 3.5V; left floating for 3.5–12V to prevent latchup |
| 8 (V+) | Positive input supply | Primary power input; supplies internal regulator, oscillator, and switch drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7660SIBAZA-T | Wider temperature range (-40°C to +85°C same), but lower max supply voltage (10V vs 12V); 100% tested at 3V vs ICL7660AIBAZA-T's 5V baseline | Preferred for high-reliability 3V systems requiring guaranteed low-IQ performance; less suitable for 12V industrial inputs | Select ICL7660SIBAZA-T when operating near 3V with strict supply current limits; choose ICL7660AIBAZA-T for full 12V input headroom |
| MAX660CPA+ | Higher quiescent current (120µA typ vs 80µA), fixed 10kHz oscillator (no BOOST pin), and different pinout (V+ on Pin 8 vs Pin 8 on ICL7660AIBAZA-T) | Compatible for basic inverting functions but lacks frequency scalability and LV pin flexibility; requires PCB layout change | Use MAX660CPA+ only in legacy designs where pin compatibility is not required and 35kHz boost capability is unnecessary |
Compared with ICL7660SIBAZA-T and MAX660CPA+, the ICL7660AIBAZA-T uniquely combines 12V input tolerance, BOOST-pin frequency scaling, and LV-bypass functionality-making it optimal for industrial systems demanding both wide input range and compact capacitor sizing.

FAQ
What is the function of the LV pin on the ICL7660AIBAZA-T?
The LV pin on the ICL7660AIBAZA-T controls internal regulator bypass: tie it to GND for input voltages below 3.5V to improve low-VIN efficiency and enable 1.5V operation; leave it floating for 3.5–12V inputs to prevent latchup. This dual-mode operation ensures robustness across battery and industrial supply rails without external components.
Can the ICL7660AIBAZA-T generate positive voltage doubling?
Yes, the ICL7660AIBAZA-T can be configured as a positive voltage doubler using external diodes (e.g., Figure 18 in FN3179). With a 5V input, it delivers approximately +9.2V output (2×5V minus two diode forward drops). The internal switches drive the pump capacitor, while external diodes steer charge to the reservoir-enabling inductor-free high-voltage bias generation.
What is the maximum output current capability of the ICL7660AIBAZA-T?
The ICL7660AIBAZA-T delivers up to 20mA continuous output current with ≤120Ω source resistance across -40°C to +85°C. At 10mA and 5V input, typical output resistance is 60Ω-defining worst-case voltage drop of 600mV. For higher currents, paralleling multiple ICL7660AIBAZA-T units reduces effective output impedance proportionally per Equation 6.
Is an external Schottky diode required for the ICL7660AIBAZA-T?
An external Schottky diode from VOUT (Pin 5) to CAP– (Pin 4) is required when the input voltage exceeds 5.5V *and* has a rise rate >2V/µs-common in hot-plug or unregulated industrial supplies. This prevents forward-biasing Q4's body diode and subsequent latchup. For ≤5.5V or slow-rising inputs, the ICL7660AIBAZA-T operates safely without external diodes.
How does the BOOST pin affect capacitor selection in ICL7660AIBAZA-T designs?
Connecting the BOOST pin (Pin 1) to V+ increases the oscillator frequency from 10kHz to ~35kHz, reducing the 1/(fPUMP×C1) term in output impedance. This allows use of 0.1µF pump capacitors instead of 10µF while maintaining equivalent performance-cutting capacitor footprint by 99% and enabling ultra-compact designs for portable instrumentation.
