Product details
Overview
LM2687MMX/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 output current with 1mV typical ripple and 91% typical charge-pump efficiency, and operates at 100kHz switching frequency - ideal for GaAsFET power amplifier biasing in cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LM2687MMX/NOPB datasheet, LM2687MMX/NOPB pinout, LM2687MMX/NOPB application, or LM2687MMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its regulated negative output range, ultra-low shutdown current (0.05µA), MSOP-8 package compatibility, and feedback-based output adjustment via external resistors without requiring inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2687MMX/NOPB integrates a fixed-frequency (100kHz typ.) 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 eliminates inductors and relies on four external ceramic capacitors (C1–C3 + bypass).
Feedback is implemented through the VFB pin referenced to −1.20V (typ.), allowing output voltage setting via resistor divider between VOUT, VFB, and VADJ (0V to VIN). Shutdown is active-low logic compatible (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.5V) and forces VOUT/VNEG to ground while reducing quiescent current to 0.05µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.5V to −5.2V - adjustable via external resistor divider; enables flexible biasing of RF power amplifiers. |
| Max Output Current | 10mA - sufficient for GaAsFET gate bias and low-power analog circuitry. |
| Output Ripple | 1mV (typ.) - achieved via PSRR filtering of charge-pump noise by integrated LDO stage. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05µA (typ.) - enables battery-sensitive portable applications with near-zero standby drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz (typ.) - balances capacitor size, ESR sensitivity, and EMI profile for handheld use. |
| Power Efficiency | 91% (typ. at 10mA) - minimizes thermal load and extends battery life in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
LM2687MMX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (MUA08A) package with exposed die attach pad not present - distinct from LLP variant. Pin functions are validated per National Semiconductor DS101180 and TI SNVS060D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Cap+ | Charge pump flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to C1+; internal switch node for voltage inversion phase 1. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitors. |
| 3 - Cap− | Charge pump flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to C1−; internal switch node for voltage inversion phase 2. |
| 4 - SD | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable inverter/LDO; pulls VOUT/VNEG to GND during shutdown. |
| 5 - VNEG | Unregulated negative output | Raw inverted voltage pre-LDO; used only if regulation not required or for auxiliary bias. |
| 6 - VFB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; internal −1.20V reference sets regulated VOUT. |
| 7 - VOUT | Regulated negative output | Final stable output; filtered by internal LDO to suppress ripple and supply noise. |
| 8 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; powers both charge pump and LDO stages. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 feedback, fixed −2×VIN output; higher ripple (10mV); no shutdown. | Suitable only where output voltage tolerance >±5% and noise <10mV is acceptable. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision and noise performance. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Regulated inverter with 1.5% output accuracy; 2.5V–5.5V input; 60mA output; 1.2MHz switching. | Higher current capability but larger ripple (3mV) and no MSOP-8 option (only SOT-23-6). | Prefer when >10mA load or smaller solution size (SOT-23) is prioritized over ultra-low noise. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the LM2687MMX/NOPB uniquely combines MSOP-8 packaging, 1mV ripple, and 0.05µA shutdown - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical RF bias applications where regulation stability and noise floor dominate selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the minimum and maximum input voltage for the LM2687MMX/NOPB?
The LM2687MMX/NOPB operates across an input voltage range of +2.7V to +5.5V. This allows direct compatibility with common battery chemistries including single-cell Li-ion (fully charged at 4.2V), 3.3V logic rails, and 5V USB-powered systems. Operation below 2.7V may cause regulation loss or startup failure, while exceeding 5.5V risks damage per absolute maximum ratings.
How is the output voltage adjusted on the LM2687MMX/NOPB?
The LM2687MMX/NOPB uses a resistor divider between VOUT, VFB, and VADJ (typically GND) to set output voltage. With VFB internally regulated to −1.20V (typ.), the equation VOUT = −1.20V × (1 + R1/R2) applies. For example, R1 = 200kΩ and R2 = 200kΩ yields VOUT = −2.4V. Resistor tolerances ≤1% are recommended for accuracy.
What capacitor values and types are required for stable operation of the LM2687MMX/NOPB?
The LM2687MMX/NOPB requires three external capacitors: C1 (flying, 1µF), C2 (charge-pump output, 1µF), and C3 (LDO output, 10µF), all with ≤0.3Ω ESR. Ceramic, chip tantalum, or polymer electrolytic types are approved. Using smaller values or higher-ESR capacitors increases output resistance, ripple, and dropout voltage - degrading regulation and noise performance.
Does the LM2687MMX/NOPB require an external compensation network?
No, the LM2687MMX/NOPB does not require external compensation. Its internal N-channel FET-based LDO regulator is fully compensated and stable with the minimum recommended output capacitor (10µF, ≤0.3Ω ESR). Stability is maintained across all load conditions and capacitor ESR values within specification - eliminating design iteration overhead.
What happens to VOUT and VNEG during shutdown of the LM2687MMX/NOPB?
When the SD pin is pulled low, the LM2687MMX/NOPB disables both the charge-pump and LDO stages, reducing supply current to 0.05µA (typ.). During shutdown, VOUT and VNEG are actively discharged to GND via internal switches - ensuring safe, predictable state transitions and preventing floating outputs in battery-powered systems.
