Product details
Overview
LM2687MM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, regulated switched-capacitor voltage inverter IC that converts +2.7V to +5.5V input into an adjustable negative output from −1.5V to −5.2V, delivers up to 10mA, operates at 100 kHz typical switching frequency, and achieves 91% typical charge-pump efficiency - used for GaAsFET power amplifier bias in cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LM2687MM/NOPB datasheet, LM2687MM/NOPB pinout, LM2687MM/NOPB application, or LM2687MM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include regulated negative output adjustability, 1 mV typical output ripple, 0.05 µA shutdown current, MSOP-8 package compatibility, and feedback-based VOUT control via external resistor divider.
Technical Context
The LM2687MM/NOPB integrates a fixed-frequency (100 kHz) switched-capacitor inverter stage followed by a low-dropout linear regulator, enabling precise regulation of the inverted output while suppressing charge-pump ripple via high PSRR. Its architecture separates inversion (at VNEG) from regulation (at VOUT), decoupling noise generation from final output stability.
Feedback is implemented through a dedicated VFB pin referenced to −1.20 V, requiring an external resistor divider between VOUT and VADJ (0 V to VIN); the device does not support direct fixed-output variants and mandates external resistors for all output voltage settings. Shutdown is active-low, pulling both VOUT and VNEG to GND when asserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.7 V to +5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion and dual-cell alkaline systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.5 V to −5.2 V - adjustable via external resistor divider on VFB pin; enables flexible biasing for diverse GaAsFET thresholds. |
| Max Output Current | 10 mA - sufficient for RF power amplifier bias in portable transceivers, not intended for rail-to-rail load switching. |
| Output Ripple | 1 mV (typical peak-to-peak) - achieved via PSRR filtering of charge-pump ripple by internal LDO stage. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA (typical) - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-operated handheld instrumentation. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz (typical) - balances EMI suppression, capacitor size, and output resistance; fixed, not programmable. |
| Power Efficiency | 91% (typical at 10 mA) - minimizes thermal rise in space-constrained MSOP-8 package with no heatsink required. |
Pinout & Package
LM2687MM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) not present - distinct from LLP variant. Pin numbering follows standard MSOP orientation with Pin 1 marked by dot or bevel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Cap+ | Charge pump flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to C1+; internal switch node for charge transfer phase; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≤0.3 Ω). |
| 2 - GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for VIN, VFB, SD, and VNEG; must be low-impedance plane to minimize noise coupling into VOUT. |
| 3 - Cap− | Charge pump flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to C1−; complements Cap+ in charge-reversal cycle; shares same capacitor as Pin 1. |
| 4 - SD | Active-low shutdown control input | Logic-level compatible (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V); asserts shutdown when pulled low, reducing IQ to 0.05 µA and grounding VOUT/VNEG. |
| 5 - VNEG | Unregulated negative output from charge pump | Raw inverted voltage before LDO regulation; not intended for direct load connection; feeds internal LDO input. |
| 6 - VFB | Regulator feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; held at −1.20 V reference; determines VOUT via R1/R2 ratio; input bias current <100 nA. |
| 7 - VOUT | Regulated negative output voltage | Final stable output; supplies bias to RF amplifiers; PSRR attenuates switching ripple; max 10 mA continuous load. |
| 8 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; powers both charge pump and LDO; bypass capacitor mandatory at pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Regulated negative output via integrated LDO | Enables stable bias under varying load and input conditions without external regulation circuitry. |
| 1 mV typical output ripple | Meets stringent noise requirements for GaAsFET amplifier bias where supply-induced AM modulation degrades EVM. |
| 0.05 µA shutdown quiescent current | Extends battery life in standby mode for portable wireless devices without sacrificing fast wake-up (<600 µs start-up time). |
| MSOP-8 footprint with no exposed DAP | Reduces PCB area vs. SOIC-8 while maintaining manual solderability and compatibility with standard reflow profiles. |
| Fixed 100 kHz switching frequency | Optimizes capacitor sizing and EMI behavior without requiring frequency compensation or external clock synchronization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated negative voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Unregulated inverter; no LDO stage; fixed −2×VIN output; higher ripple (15 mV); no VFB pin. | Suitable only where load tolerates unregulated output and ripple; cannot replace LM2687MM/NOPB in GaAsFET bias. | Select MAX680ESA+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs regulation requirement and output noise is non-critical. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Regulated inverter with adjustable output (−1.5 V to −5.5 V); 1.2 MHz switching; higher IQ (1.2 mA); SOT-23-6 package. | Better transient response but higher noise floor; unsuitable for ultra-low-IQ portable designs requiring <1 µA shutdown. | Choose TPS60403DBVR when board space is extremely limited and 1.2 MHz operation fits EMI profile; avoid for battery-life-critical bias rails. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the LM2687MM/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-low shutdown current (0.05 µA), sub-mV ripple, and MSOP-8 manufacturability - making it optimal for cellular PA bias where noise, efficiency, and reliability are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the function of the VFB pin on the LM2687MM/NOPB?
The VFB pin on the LM2687MM/NOPB is the feedback input for the internal LDO regulator, referenced to a precise −1.20 V internal voltage. It must be connected to a resistor divider between VOUT and VADJ (typically GND) to set the regulated output voltage; leaving it unconnected will cause regulation failure and unstable VOUT.
Can the LM2687MM/NOPB operate from a 2.5 V input supply?
No - the LM2687MM/NOPB has a minimum operating input voltage of +2.7 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 2.5 V, the device will not start up or sustain regulation, and VOUT may collapse or become uncontrolled.
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for the LM2687MM/NOPB?
The LM2687MM/NOPB is rated for a maximum continuous output current of 10 mA at VOUT, as confirmed in both the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections of the datasheet. Exceeding this current risks thermal shutdown or output voltage droop beyond regulation limits.
Does the LM2687MM/NOPB require an external capacitor on the VNEG pin?
Yes - the LM2687MM/NOPB requires an output capacitor (C3, minimum 10 µF ceramic with ≤0.3 Ω ESR) connected directly between VNEG and GND to stabilize the charge-pump stage and reduce ripple before LDO regulation; omitting C3 causes excessive noise and potential oscillation.
Is the LM2687MM/NOPB pin-compatible with the LM2662 or LM2663?
No - the LM2687MM/NOPB has a unique 8-pin MSOP pinout including dedicated Cap+, Cap−, VFB, and VNEG pins; neither the LM2662 (8-pin SOIC, no VFB) nor LM2663 (8-pin SOIC, fixed −2×VIN) share the same pin configuration, functionality, or regulation architecture.
