Product details
Overview
ICL7660SIBAZT from Renesas Electronics is a monolithic CMOS charge-pump voltage converter IC that performs positive-to-negative supply conversion across 1.5V–12V input, delivering complementary -1.5V to -12V output with only two external capacitors. It features a Boost pin (Pin 1) enabling oscillator frequency up to 35kHz, 96% minimum power efficiency, and industrial-grade -40°C to +85°C operation - used in RS-232 power supplies and data acquisition systems requiring compact bipolar rails.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7660SIBAZT datasheet, ICL7660SIBAZT pinout, ICL7660SIBAZT application, or ICL7660SIBAZT equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 120Ω max output source resistance at 20mA over full temperature range, LV pin bypass capability for low-voltage operation down to 1.5V, and compatibility with 0.1µF pump capacitors when Boost mode is enabled.
Technical Context
The ICL7660SIBAZT integrates an internal RC oscillator (10kHz nominal at 5V), voltage level translator, series DC regulator, and four MOS power switches (one P-channel, three N-channel) to implement a switched-capacitor negative voltage converter. Its substrate bias logic network actively senses VOUT to dynamically adjust S3/S4 substrates, preventing latch-up during startup or short-circuit conditions.
Operation supports multiple topologies: standalone inverting converter (VOUT ≈ –VIN), voltage doubler (up to 22.8V from 12V input), cascaded multiplication, and supply splitting. The LV pin must be tied to GND below 3.5V for regulator bypass, and left floating above 3.5V to maintain latch-up immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the ICL7660SIBAZT?
The ICL7660SIBAZT has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +13.0V. Continuous operation is specified up to +12V across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Exceeding 13V risks permanent damage due to internal junction breakdown or destructive latch-up, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 3 of FN3179 Rev 7.01. The ICL7660SIBAZT must never be operated at or near this limit for extended periods.
Can the ICL7660SIBAZT generate positive voltage doubling?
Yes, the ICL7660SIBAZT can be configured as a positive voltage doubler per Figure 18 in the datasheet, delivering up to 22.8V from a 12V input. This requires external diodes D1 and D2 and separate pump/reservoir capacitors. The ICL7660SIBAZT's internal switches enable this topology without modification, though output source impedance rises to ~60Ω at 10mA load versus ~120Ω in inverting mode.
How does the LV pin affect ICL7660SIBAZT operation below 3.5V?
The LV pin must be tied to GND for ICL7660SIBAZT operation with input voltages from 1.5V to 3.5V. This bypasses the internal series regulator, reducing dropout and enabling reliable startup and regulation at low voltage. Leaving LV floating below 3.5V causes excessive regulator dropout and failure to invert; applying GND above 3.5V induces latch-up. This behavior is explicitly defined in the Detailed Description section (page 8).
Is an external Schottky diode required for ICL7660SIBAZT reliability?
An external Schottky diode from VOUT to CAP- is required only when the input voltage exceeds 5V and its rise rate exceeds 2V/µs, as stated in the Do's and Don'ts section (page 8). This prevents forward-biasing Q4's body diode during fast transients, which could trigger latch-up. For 5V or slower-rising supplies, the ICL7660SIBAZT operates reliably without external diodes across its full temperature range.
What is the guaranteed output source resistance of the ICL7660SIBAZT at 20mA load?
The ICL7660SIBAZT guarantees ≤120Ω output source resistance at 20mA load across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (page 3). This value includes worst-case variation across process, voltage, and temperature - critical for predicting load regulation error and output ripple in precision analog designs using the ICL7660SIBAZT.
