Product details
Overview
LM7705MMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a low-noise switched-capacitor negative bias generator delivering a regulated −0.232 V output with 5% tolerance, 4 mVPP ripple, and up to 98% conversion efficiency across 3 V–5.25 V input. It enables true-zero output operation in single-supply amplifiers by supplying a small negative rail without exceeding amplifier absolute maximum ratings.
For engineers reviewing the LM7705MMX/NOPB datasheet, LM7705MMX/NOPB pinout, LM7705MMX/NOPB application, or LM7705MMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed −0.232 V output voltage, 78 µA quiescent current, 20 nA shutdown current, 500 µs turnon time, and compatibility with rail-to-rail op amps requiring sub-50 mV saturation margin.
Technical Context
The LM7705MMX/NOPB integrates a pre-regulator, charge-pump inverter (91–92 kHz oscillator), and post-regulator to generate a stable −0.232 V output from a single positive supply. Its architecture uses two external capacitors-CFLY for charge transfer and CRES for reserve storage-to achieve low-noise inversion without inductors.
It operates in two functional modes: active (SD = LOW) with regulated output and shutdown (SD = HIGH) with output pulled to ground. Load regulation is 0.14%/mA and line regulation is 0.29%/V, ensuring stability across temperature (−40°C to 125°C) and supply variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | −0.232 V ±5% - precisely calibrated to enable true-zero amplifier output without violating op amp VSS abs max ratings |
| Supply Range | 3 V to 5.25 V - compatible with common logic rails (3.3 V, 5 V) and supports battery-powered instrumentation |
| Output Ripple | 4 mVPP at −20 mA - low enough to avoid noise coupling into precision analog signal chains |
| Quiescent Current | 78 µA at 3.3 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in portable and always-on sensor front-ends |
| Shutdown Current | 20 nA - reduces standby power by >3,000×, critical for energy-harvesting and battery-life-critical systems |
| Turnon Time | 500 µs at 3.3 V - fast enough for periodic wake-up architectures without compromising settling accuracy |
| Efficiency | 98% at −5 mA - minimizes heat generation and input supply loading in space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
LM7705MMX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal performance in high-density analog designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CF+ | CFLY capacitor positive terminal | Connects to flying capacitor anode; timing and charge transfer depend on CFLY value (5 µF typical) |
| VSS | Power ground | Dual ground pins (2 & 5) reduce ground loop impedance and improve PSRR in sensitive analog sections |
| SD | Shutdown control input | Active-low logic interface; drives device ON when ≤1.25 V (−40°C to 125°C), OFF when ≥2.15 V |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 3 V–5.25 V; internal pre-regulator ensures stable operation across input variation |
| VOUT | Negative regulated output | Delivers −0.232 V to amplifier negative supply pin; low output impedance (0.26 Ω typ) maintains regulation under load |
| CRES | Reserve capacitor connection | Stabilizes post-regulated output; 22 µF recommended to minimize ripple and improve transient response |
| CF− | CFLY capacitor negative terminal | Completes charge-pump switching path; paired with CF+ to form bidirectional flying capacitor network |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed −0.232 V output | Eliminates need for external feedback resistors or trimming; guarantees consistent zero-reference across production lots |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar negative bias generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1682ASA+ | Generates −2.5 V (not −0.232 V); higher quiescent current (120 µA); no integrated post-regulator | Suitable for general-purpose negative rails but cannot enable true-zero amplifier outputs without additional level-shifting | Select LM7705MMX/NOPB when precise −0.232 V is required to avoid op amp rail violations; MAX1682ASA+ only if higher negative voltage suffices |
| TPS60403DBVR | Adjustable output (−1.5 V to −5.5 V via resistor divider); 10 µA quiescent current; 200 µs turnon time | Requires external feedback components; lacks factory-trimmed fixed −0.232 V accuracy and low-noise post-regulation | Choose LM7705MMX/NOPB for plug-and-play true-zero operation; TPS60403DBVR only if programmability and lower IQ outweigh calibration complexity |
Compared with MAX1682ASA+ and TPS60403DBVR, LM7705MMX/NOPB uniquely delivers factory-trimmed −0.232 V with integrated post-regulation, enabling direct replacement of dual supplies in amplifier biasing-without design iteration, external resistors, or compromise on noise or accuracy.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LM7705MMX/NOPB?
The LM7705MMX/NOPB is a low-noise switched-capacitor negative bias generator that produces a tightly regulated −0.232 V output from a single 3 V–5.25 V supply. Its core function is to enable true-zero output operation in rail-to-rail amplifiers by providing a small negative supply rail-eliminating output saturation errors without exceeding amplifier absolute maximum voltage ratings. This makes LM7705MMX/NOPB essential for precision DC-coupled signal chains.
How does the LM7705MMX/NOPB achieve low output ripple?
The LM7705MMX/NOPB achieves 4 mVPP output ripple through a three-stage architecture: a pre-regulator stabilizes the input, a 91–92 kHz charge-pump inverter transfers energy via external CFLY and CRES capacitors, and a post-regulator filters high-frequency switching artifacts. The integrated post-regulator-absent in most charge-pump ICs-is key to LM7705MMX/NOPB's low ripple performance, especially under dynamic loads up to −20 mA.
Can the LM7705MMX/NOPB be used with rail-to-rail op amps operating from 3.3 V?
Yes, the LM7705MMX/NOPB is explicitly designed for this use case. When paired with a 3.3 V single supply, it delivers −0.232 V to the op amp's negative rail, resulting in a total supply differential of 3.532 V-well within the 5.5 V maximum rating of devices like the LMP7701. This configuration allows the op amp output to swing to true 0 V, recovering lost ADC resolution and preventing error propagation in cascaded gain stages-exactly as specified for LM7705MMX/NOPB in TI's application documentation.
What external components are required for basic LM7705MMX/NOPB operation?
LM7705MMX/NOPB requires three external ceramic capacitors: a 5 µF flying capacitor (CFLY) between CF+ and CF−, a 22 µF reserve capacitor (CRES) between CRES and VSS, and a 22 µF output capacitor (COUT) between VOUT and VSS. No inductors, resistors, or feedback networks are needed-LM7705MMX/NOPB's fixed −0.232 V output is internally trimmed and regulated, making it a truly plug-and-play solution for true-zero biasing.
Does the LM7705MMX/NOPB support thermal shutdown or overcurrent protection?
No, the LM7705MMX/NOPB does not include thermal shutdown or overcurrent protection circuitry. Its design relies on inherent current-limiting behavior of the charge-pump topology and safe operating area defined by absolute maximum ratings (e.g., 5.75 V VDD–VSS, 150°C junction temperature). Protection must be implemented externally-such as input current limiting or board-level thermal monitoring-if operating near limits. This simplifies the IC but places responsibility for system-level robustness on the designer, as documented in the LM7705MMX/NOPB datasheet.
