Product details
Overview
LM2660MM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter configured as an unregulated inverter or doubler, operating from 1.5 V to 5.5 V input, delivering up to 100 mA output current with 6.5 Ω typical output resistance and 88% conversion efficiency at full load - widely used in portable medical instruments and handheld instrumentation requiring compact, inductorless negative/positive rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2660MM/NOPB datasheet, LM2660MM/NOPB pinout, LM2660MM/NOPB application, or LM2660MM/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include oscillator frequency selectability (10 kHz/80 kHz), LV pin configuration for low-voltage operation (<3.5 V), external capacitor programmability on OSC, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2660MM/NOPB implements a four-switch charge-pump topology with internal CMOS switches driven by a user-selectable oscillator (10 kHz or 80 kHz via FC pin), enabling precise voltage inversion (VOUT ≈ −VIN) or doubling (VOUT ≈ +2VIN). Its switching frequency is exactly half the oscillator frequency, and it supports external clock drive (≤150 kHz) only in inverter mode.
Functional modes are determined by pin strapping: LV tied to GND enables inverter operation down to 1.5 V; LV tied to OUT configures voltage doubling from ≥2.5 V input; OSC pin accepts external capacitance for frequency reduction or external CMOS clock (inverter mode only), while FC pin selects nominal 10 kHz (open) or 80 kHz (V+) oscillator frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without external regulation. |
| Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for dual-rail op-amps, RS-232 transceivers, and LCD bias supplies. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz (FC open) or 80 kHz (FC = V+) - higher frequency enables smaller external capacitors and lower output impedance. |
| Output Resistance | 6.5 Ω typical at 100 mA - defines voltage drop under load; reduced further by paralleling multiple LM2660MM/NOPB units. |
| Conversion Efficiency | 88% typical at 100 mA - minimizes quiescent power loss (120 µA IQ) in battery-powered systems. |
| Package | VSSOP-8 (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) - surface-mount, thermally enhanced footprint for high-density portable designs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and medical-grade embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 package (DGK), 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FC | Oscillator frequency control input | Selects 10 kHz (open) or 80 kHz (tied to V+) internal oscillator; no effect when OSC driven externally. |
| 2 CAP+ | Positive flying capacitor terminal | Connects to positive plate of charge-pump capacitor C1; carries bidirectional switching current. |
| 3 GND | Power supply ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal oscillator; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 4 CAP− | Negative flying capacitor terminal | Connects to negative plate of C1; forms charge-transfer path with CAP+ during switching phases. |
| 5 OUT | Inverter output / Doubler ground | In inverter mode: negative output rail; in doubler mode: grounded node - function depends on LV and V+/GND assignment. |
| 6 LV | Low-voltage enable input | Tie to GND for 1.5–3.5 V operation; tie to OUT for doubler mode; leave open for ≥3.5 V inverter use. |
| 7 OSC | Oscillator control input | Accepts external capacitor for frequency reduction or external CMOS clock (≤150 kHz) in inverter mode only. |
| 8 V+ | Positive supply input / Doubler output | In inverter mode: input rail; in doubler mode: positive output rail - role defined by external pin connections. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless voltage conversion | Eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic-based DC/DC converters - ideal for noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
| Configurable topology (inverter/doubler) | Single IC supports both negative rail generation (e.g., −5 V from +5 V) and positive doubling (e.g., +10 V from +5 V) via pin-strapping. |
| Parallel operation support | Multiple LM2660MM/NOPB units can share one output capacitor while using individual flying capacitors, reducing composite output resistance linearly. |
| Low quiescent current | 120 µA typical supply current enables >1-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation with intermittent load. |
| External frequency control | OSC pin allows tuning ripple and output impedance via external capacitor or synchronization to system clock - critical for EMI compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Fixed 10 kHz oscillator; no FC/OSC programmability; 120 mA output; SO-8 only | Less flexible frequency control; no VSSOP option; higher IQ (250 µA) | Choose when fixed-frequency, higher-current inverter is acceptable and VSSOP footprint is not required. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Regulated inverter (±1%); 60 mA output; integrated LDO; 1.8–5.5 V input; SOT-23-6 | Delivers precise −3.3 V/−5 V without external regulation; lower output current; smaller package | Choose when tight output voltage tolerance is mandatory and 60 mA load is sufficient. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the LM2660MM/NOPB offers unique trade-offs: programmable oscillator frequency and dual-mode (inverter/doubler) capability in a space-saving VSSOP-8, but requires external regulation for precision outputs and lacks built-in feedback control.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM2660MM/NOPB can handle?
The LM2660MM/NOPB has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 6 V (V+ to GND or GND to OUT). For reliable operation, the recommended input range is 1.5 V to 5.5 V - exceeding 5.5 V risks permanent damage even if within the 6 V absolute limit. The device's internal protection does not include overvoltage shutdown, so external clamping or regulation is advised if input transients exceed 5.5 V.
Can the LM2660MM/NOPB generate a regulated output voltage?
The LM2660MM/NOPB itself provides unregulated output - its inverter output is approximately −VIN, and its doubler output is approximately +2VIN. To achieve regulation, an external low-dropout linear regulator (e.g., LP2951 for negative output or LP2981 for positive output) must be added downstream. TI's Figure 20 and Figure 21 in the LM2660MM/NOPB datasheet show validated schematics for regulated −1.5 V to −5.5 V and +5 V outputs.
Is the LM2660MM/NOPB pin-compatible with the LMC7660?
The LM2660MM/NOPB is not pin-compatible with the LMC7660 - they differ in pin functions (e.g., LV pin on LM2660MM/NOPB has no counterpart on LMC7660) and electrical behavior. However, the LM2660MM/NOPB supports direct substitution in many LMC7660 designs when LV is left open and FC is open, due to identical SOIC-8 and VSSOP-8 footprints and overlapping input/output ranges - but layout review and functional validation are required before replacement.
How does the LV pin affect LM2660MM/NOPB operation?
The LV pin determines operational mode and voltage range: when tied to GND, the LM2660MM/NOPB operates as an inverter from 1.5 V to 5.5 V; when tied to OUT, it operates as a doubler from 2.5 V to 5.5 V; when left open, it operates as an inverter above 3.5 V. Leaving LV open simplifies migration from LMC7660 designs but disables sub-3.5 V operation - incorrect LV configuration causes startup failure or undefined output.
What external capacitors are recommended for the LM2660MM/NOPB?
TI recommends low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitors for both flying (C1) and output (C2) roles - specifically 150 µF tantalum (e.g., AVX TPS series) or 10–22 µF X7R ceramics with ≤100 mΩ ESR. Capacitor selection directly impacts output resistance and ripple: high-ESR types increase voltage drop and reduce efficiency, while insufficient capacitance raises ripple and degrades load regulation. C1 and C2 values should match unless optimizing for specific ripple/resistance trade-offs.
