Product details
Overview
ICL7662EPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS voltage converter IC that generates a regulated negative output from a positive input, featuring ±1% output regulation, 100mA output current capability, and operation from +4.5V to +20V input. It is used in dual-supply op-amp biasing, RS-232 interface generation, and portable instrumentation requiring compact bipolar rails.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7662EPA+ datasheet, ICL7662EPA+ pinout, ICL7662EPA+ application, or ICL7662EPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, output regulation tightness, external capacitor requirements, thermal performance in PDIP-8 packaging, and absence of inductors in the charge-pump topology.
Technical Context
The ICL7662EPA+ implements a switched-capacitor voltage inverter architecture with on-chip oscillator, driver, and control logic. It uses two external flying capacitors and one output capacitor to achieve inversion without magnetic components, supporting fixed 1:1 inversion ratio with internal feedback for output regulation.
It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), features built-in short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown, and delivers stable -VIN ±1% output under load conditions up to 100mA with typical efficiency of 90% at mid-load.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX662ACPA+ | Same pinout, improved efficiency (92% typ), lower quiescent current (120µA vs. 200µA), but requires different capacitor values | Preferred for battery-powered designs needing longer runtime; same PCB footprint | Select MAX662ACPA+ when optimizing for standby power and efficiency over cost |
| ICL7660CPA+ | Lower output current (20mA), no internal regulation (±3% typical), no thermal shutdown | Suitable only for low-current biasing (e.g., single op-amp); not for RS-232 or multi-device loads | Choose ICL7660CPA+ only if load current ≤20mA and ±3% regulation is acceptable |
Compared with ICL7662EPA+, MAX662ACPA+ offers higher efficiency and lower IQ for portable use, while ICL7660CPA+ trades regulation accuracy and protection for lower cost and simpler capacitor selection - both require validation against load and thermal constraints in final design.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ICL7662EPA+?
The ICL7662EPA+ delivers up to 100mA continuous output current into the negative rail under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ +70°C, adequate PCB copper). Derating applies above +50°C ambient; full 100mA requires minimum 2 in² of 2-oz copper pour connected to GND and VOUT pins. The ICL7662EPA+ includes thermal shutdown to protect against sustained overload.
Does the ICL7662EPA+ require external resistors for basic inverting operation?
No - the ICL7662EPA+ operates as a fixed-ratio inverter (VOUT ≈ –VIN) with no external resistors needed. VREF is internally connected to VOUT for regulation. External resistors are only required if adjusting output voltage beyond –VIN, which is not supported by default configuration of the ICL7662EPA+.
Can the ICL7662EPA+ be used with ceramic flying capacitors?
Yes - the ICL7662EPA+ is fully compatible with X7R or X5R ceramic flying capacitors (typically 10µF, 16V). Ceramic caps reduce size, improve reliability, and eliminate ESR-related losses versus tantalum. Use low-ESR types; avoid high-voltage-rated ceramics with excessive capacitance tolerance drift.
What is the operating frequency of the internal oscillator in the ICL7662EPA+?
The ICL7662EPA+ integrates a factory-trimmed oscillator operating at 10kHz typical (8kHz to 12kHz over temperature and supply). This fixed frequency determines charge-pump switching rate and directly impacts ripple magnitude and capacitor sizing - higher frequencies allow smaller capacitors but increase switching losses.
Is the ICL7662EPA+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the ICL7662EPA+ carries the '+' suffix per Maxim's part numbering convention, indicating lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin lead finish. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and is rated for reflow soldering up to 260°C peak.
