Product details
Overview
LM2663MX from Texas Instruments is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage inverter IC that converts 2.5 V–5.5 V positive input to corresponding negative output with up to 200 mA load capability, 3.5 Ω typical output resistance, and 86% conversion efficiency at full load-used in portable medical instruments and handheld test equipment requiring compact, inductorless dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2663MX datasheet, LM2663MX pinout, LM2663MX application, or LM2663MX equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 150 kHz oscillator frequency, shutdown current of 10 μA, LV pin tied to OUT in inverter mode, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The LM2663MX implements a four-switch charge-pump topology with internal CMOS switches driven by a fixed 150 kHz oscillator. It operates exclusively in inverting mode when LV is connected to OUT, and requires two external flying/output capacitors for energy transfer without magnetic components.
Its shutdown functionality is controlled via the SD pin: ≥2 V disables operation and reduces quiescent current to 10 μA, while grounding SD enables normal operation. Unlike the LM2662, it lacks frequency-selectable FC logic and does not support external clock driving of the OSC pin in any mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V rail systems without level-shifting |
| Output Current | 200 mA - sufficient for op-amp biasing, sensor signal conditioning, and low-power analog circuitry |
| Oscillator Frequency | 150 kHz (fixed) - enables use of smaller 47 μF ceramic flying capacitors vs. lower-frequency alternatives |
| Output Resistance | 3.5 Ω (typ) - determines voltage droop under load; impacts regulation in precision analog stages |
| Shutdown Current | 10 μA - extends battery life in sleep-mode portable instrumentation |
| Conversion Efficiency | 86% at 200 mA - balances power loss and thermal rise in sealed enclosures |
| Package | SOIC-8 (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
LM2663MX is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SD) | Shutdown control input | High (>2 V) disables internal oscillator and reduces IQ to 10 μA; grounded for active operation |
| 2 (CAP+) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to + side of external 47 μF flying capacitor (C1); carries bidirectional switching current |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return for input supply, output load, and internal switch array; must be low-inductance |
| 4 (CAP−) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to − side of C1; forms charge-transfer path with CAP+ during pump cycles |
| 5 (OUT) | Negative voltage output | Delivers inverted output (−VIN) to load; connects to cathode of output capacitor C2 |
| 6 (LV) | Low-voltage operation control | Must be tied to OUT in inverter mode to enable proper internal regulator biasing |
| 7 (OSC) | Oscillator control node | Internally biased at 150 kHz; external capacitor lowers frequency; no external clock support |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V input; powers internal logic and switch drivers; bypass with 0.1 μF ceramic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless voltage inversion | Eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic-based DC/DC converters in portable designs |
| 10 μA shutdown current | Enables multi-week standby in battery-powered handheld instruments without manual power cycling |
| Fixed 150 kHz switching | Optimizes capacitor size vs. ripple trade-off: 47 μF ceramics suffice for <50 mVpp ripple at 200 mA |
| LV-to-OUT connection requirement | Ensures stable internal biasing across full input range; prevents startup failure below 3.5 V |
| SOIC-8 thermal performance | RθJA = 170°C/W allows 200 mA operation at ≤65°C ambient without heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2662MX | Pin-compatible SOIC-8 but includes FC pin for 20/150 kHz selection; no SD pin; higher 0.3–1.3 mA operating current | Preferred where adjustable frequency is needed to optimize capacitor size vs. efficiency trade-off | Select LM2662MX if variable oscillator frequency is required; LM2663MX is superior for ultra-low-quiescent designs |
| MAX680ESA+ | SOIC-8, 125 kHz fixed oscillator, 100 mA output, 15 Ω output resistance, no shutdown pin | Suitable for lower-current, cost-sensitive applications where 200 mA capability is unnecessary | Choose MAX680ESA+ only for sub-100 mA loads; LM2663MX delivers 2× current with 4.3× lower ROUT |
Compared with LM2662MX and MAX680ESA+, the LM2663MX uniquely combines 200 mA output, 10 μA shutdown, and fixed 150 kHz operation in SOIC-8-making it optimal for high-current, low-power portable instrumentation where layout simplicity and battery longevity are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable startup of the LM2663MX?
The LM2663MX requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V for guaranteed startup in inverter mode. Below this threshold, internal oscillator biasing becomes unstable. When V+ drops below 3.5 V, the LV pin must be tied to OUT-not GND-to maintain proper regulation of internal circuitry. This configuration ensures functional operation down to 2.5 V while preserving 10 μA shutdown current capability.
Can the LM2663MX be used as a positive voltage doubler?
No, the LM2663MX is not specified or characterized for voltage-doubling operation. Its pin configuration and internal logic are optimized for inverting mode only, with LV pin hardwired to OUT. The LM2662MX supports both modes via FC pin reconfiguration, but the LM2663MX lacks the necessary control architecture and has no documented doubling performance data in its datasheet.
What external capacitors are recommended for the LM2663MX in a 200 mA inverter design?
For 200 mA operation, TI recommends two 47 μF, low-ESR (≤0.2 Ω) X7R ceramic or polymer tantalum capacitors: one between CAP+ and CAP− (flying capacitor C1), and one between OUT and GND (output capacitor C2). Ceramic types reduce ripple and improve transient response; avoid high-ESR electrolytics which increase output resistance beyond the specified 3.5 Ω typical value.
How does the LM2663MX handle thermal dissipation at maximum load?
At 200 mA output into a −5 V rail with 5 V input, the LM2663MX dissipates approximately 200 mW. With its SOIC-8 package RθJA of 170°C/W, this results in a ~34°C junction-to-ambient rise above ambient. Derating is required above 65°C ambient to maintain TJ ≤ 105°C. No heatsink is needed below this limit, but PCB copper pour under the exposed pad (if present) improves thermal margin.
Is the OSC pin of the LM2663MX compatible with external clock signals?
No, the OSC pin of the LM2663MX cannot be driven by an external clock signal. Unlike the LM2662MX, the LM2663MX's oscillator is internally fixed at 150 kHz and lacks clock-synchronization circuitry. External clock injection is explicitly unsupported and may cause erratic switching or latch-up. Frequency adjustment is limited to adding an external capacitor from OSC to GND to lower the nominal 150 kHz rate.
