Product details
Overview
ICL7660SIBA 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 frequency, 96% minimum power efficiency, and operates across -40°C to +85°C for industrial-grade RS-232 and data acquisition power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7660SIBA datasheet, ICL7660SIBA pinout, ICL7660SIBA application, or ICL7660SIBA equivalent, this device serves as an enhanced drop-in replacement for legacy ICL7660 designs requiring extended supply range, lower quiescent current, and improved latchup immunity in compact SOIC-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The ICL7660SIBA integrates a DC regulator, RC oscillator, voltage level translator, and four MOS power switches (one P-channel, three N-channel) to implement a bidirectional charge-pump topology. Its internal substrate bias logic actively monitors VOUT to prevent latchup during startup and short-circuit conditions.
Operation supports multiple configurations: negative conversion (VOUT ≈ –VIN), voltage doubling (VOUT ≈ +2VIN), cascaded multiplication, and supply splitting. The BOOST pin (Pin 1) enables oscillator frequency scaling up to ~35kHz, reducing output impedance without larger capacitors.

Pinout & Package
ICL7660SIBA is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, package drawing M8.15), with 1.27mm lead pitch, 5.0mm × 4.0mm body, and 1.75mm max height. Thermal resistance θJA = 160°C/W (typical).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BOOST | Oscillator frequency control input | Connect to V+ to raise oscillator frequency ~3.5×; reduces output impedance and ripple for space-constrained designs |
| 2 - CAP+ | Charge pump capacitor connection | Node where external pump capacitor C1 connects; polarity-sensitive for polarized electrolytics (+ to Pin 2) |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal regulator, oscillator, and switch logic; must be low-impedance |
| 4 - CAP- | Charge reservoir capacitor connection | Node where reservoir capacitor C2 connects; polarity-sensitive (+ to GND) |
| 5 - VOUT | Negative output terminal | Delivers inverted voltage; must not exceed GND potential to avoid latchup; Schottky diode recommended above 5.5V input |
| 6 - OSC | Oscillator timing node | Accepts external capacitor to lower frequency or external clock (via 1kΩ series resistor) for precise synchronization |
| 7 - LV | Low-voltage mode enable | Tie to GND for 1.5–3.5V operation to bypass internal regulator; leave floating for 3.5–12V to prevent latchup |
| 8 - V+ | Positive input supply | Primary power input; accepts 1.5–12V; internal regulator drops ~0.3V when LV is floating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7660SIBAZ | Pb-free version of ICL7660SIBA; identical electrical specs and SOIC-8 footprint; RoHS-compliant matte tin termination | No functional difference; intended for new designs requiring Pb-free compliance and J-STD-020 MSL3 reflow compatibility | Select ICL7660SIBAZ for production builds targeting RoHS certification and long-term component availability. |
| MAX1044CSA+ | Higher 35kHz max oscillator frequency; 100µA max supply current at 25°C; requires external timing capacitor for frequency control | Better ripple performance at high frequencies but lacks BOOST pin simplicity; less tolerant of low-VIN operation below 2.5V | Choose MAX1044CSA+ only when ultra-low output impedance (<40Ω) at 20mA is required and layout allows dedicated timing cap placement. |
Compared with ICL7660SIBAZ, the ICL7660SIBA offers identical functionality but with SnPb termination-suitable for legacy reflow or wave-solder processes. Against MAX1044CSA+, the ICL7660SIBA provides simpler BOOST-pin frequency scaling and guaranteed 1.5V start-up, trading off some high-frequency ripple reduction for design flexibility and broader voltage compatibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the ICL7660SIBA?
The ICL7660SIBA supports a minimum input voltage of 1.5V when the LV pin is tied to GND to bypass the internal series regulator. At this setting, it delivers a corresponding -1.5V output with guaranteed performance across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Operation below 1.5V is not specified or characterized.
How does the BOOST pin on the ICL7660SIBA affect output performance?
The BOOST pin (Pin 1) on the ICL7660SIBA increases oscillator frequency from 10kHz to ~35kHz when connected to V+, directly lowering output source resistance and ripple voltage. This enables use of smaller 0.1µF external capacitors instead of 10µF units while maintaining equivalent load capability-critical for space-constrained SOIC-8 designs.
Can the ICL7660SIBA be used as a voltage doubler, and what is its maximum output?
Yes, the ICL7660SIBA can be configured as a voltage doubler. With a 12V input, it generates up to +22.8V output (2 × 12V minus diode drops). This requires external diodes and proper capacitor sizing per Figure 18 in the FN3179 datasheet. Output current capability remains limited by internal switch resistance and capacitor ESR.
Is an external Schottky diode required for reliable operation of the ICL7660SIBA?
An external Schottky diode from VOUT (Pin 5) to CAP- (Pin 4) is recommended when the input voltage exceeds 5.5V and has a fast rise time (>2V/µs), to prevent forward-biasing the body diode of internal transistor Q4 and causing latchup. For ≤5.5V inputs or slow-rising supplies, the ICL7660SIBA operates reliably without external diodes.
What is the purpose of the LV pin on the ICL7660SIBA, and how should it be configured?
The LV pin on the ICL7660SIBA controls internal regulator bypass. For inputs ≤3.5V, tie LV to GND to disable the regulator and ensure reliable low-voltage operation. For inputs >3.5V, leave LV floating to maintain latchup immunity-connecting LV to GND above 3.5V risks destructive device failure.
