Product details
Overview
LM828M5 from Texas Instruments is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage inverter IC that converts +1.8V to +5.5V input into corresponding −1.8V to −5.5V negative output, delivering up to 25 mA with 20 Ω typical output impedance and 97% conversion efficiency at 5 mA load - used in operational amplifier and interface power supplies for portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM828M5 datasheet, LM828M5 pinout, LM828M5 application, or LM828M5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package, 12 kHz internal oscillator frequency, 40 µA quiescent current, and verified performance across −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
Technical Context
The LM828M5 implements a four-switch CMOS charge-pump topology that alternates capacitor charging and transfer phases to invert input voltage without inductors. Its internal 12 kHz oscillator drives switching at 6 kHz (fSW = fOSC/2), minimizing output ripple while enabling low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitor use.
Output regulation relies on external passive components: C1 (pumping) and C2 (output) capacitors define output resistance (ROUT ≈ 4×C1-ESR + RSW + C2-ESR) and ripple magnitude. The device operates with no feedback loop or internal regulation - output voltage is nominally −VIN, dropping linearly under load per ROUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V/5V logic rails, and battery-powered systems without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.8V to −5.5V - inverted, unregulated output directly tracks input magnitude with polarity reversal. |
| Max Output Current | 25 mA - sufficient for dual-rail op-amps, RS-232 interface bias, and low-power analog circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA - enables >96% efficiency at light loads, critical for extended battery life in handheld instruments. |
| Output Impedance | 20 Ω typical - determines load-induced voltage drop (e.g., 100 mV drop at 5 mA); minimized via low-ESR capacitors. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 12 kHz - sets switching frequency at 6 kHz, balancing EMI, capacitor size, and ripple performance. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Negative voltage output | Delivers inverted supply; connects to load ground reference and output capacitor (C2) cathode. |
| 2 (V+) | Positive input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5V source; powers internal oscillator and switches; must be bypassed near pin. |
| 3 (CAP−) | Charge-pump capacitor negative node | Connects to negative terminal of pumping capacitor C1; forms return path during charge-transfer phase. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground common for V+, CAP−, and load return; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 5 (CAP+) | Charge-pump capacitor positive node | Connects to positive terminal of C1; alternately charges from V+ and discharges to C2 via internal switches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Higher 100 kHz switching frequency; 17 Ω ROUT; requires 1 µF capacitors vs. LM828M5's 10 µF. | Better suited for low-ripple, high-frequency noise-sensitive applications (e.g., precision ADC references). | Select MAX680ESA+ when lower output impedance and reduced capacitor size outweigh higher quiescent current (120 µA). |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | Wider input range (1.5–12V); 35 Ω ROUT; 125 µA IQ; SOIC-8 package. | Preferred for higher-voltage industrial sensors or legacy 9V-battery systems needing robustness over size. | Choose ICL7660SIPAZ when input exceeds 5.5V or board space allows SOIC-8; avoid for ultra-low-power handheld use. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and ICL7660SIPAZ, the LM828M5 offers the lowest quiescent current (40 µA) and smallest footprint (SOT-23-5), making it optimal for battery-critical, space-constrained applications where moderate output impedance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for the LM828M5?
The LM828M5 supports up to 25 mA of continuous output current under typical conditions, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SNOS035D datasheet. Absolute maximum ratings allow 50 mA peak, but sustained operation above 25 mA increases output voltage droop and thermal stress - design margin should maintain ≤25 mA for reliable performance across −40°C to +85°C.
Does the LM828M5 require external feedback or regulation circuitry to maintain stable output voltage?
No, the LM828M5 is an unregulated charge-pump inverter - its output voltage is nominally −VIN and drops linearly with load current per its 20 Ω typical output impedance. For regulated outputs, TI recommends cascading with an LDO like LP2980, as shown in Figure 16 of the LM828M5 datasheet. The LM828M5 itself contains no feedback loop, reference, or error amplifier.
Which capacitor types and values are recommended for optimal performance with the LM828M5?
Texas Instruments specifies 10 µF low-ESR capacitors for both C1 (pumping) and C2 (output) in the LM828M5 test circuit. Recommended types include AVX TPS-series tantalum, Murata/X7R ceramic, or Nichicon PL-series aluminum electrolytic. Low ESR is critical: high-ESR capacitors increase output impedance, reduce efficiency, and raise ripple - directly degrading LM828M5 performance per Equation 1 in the datasheet.
Can multiple LM828M5 devices be paralleled to increase output current capability?
Yes, the LM828M5 datasheet explicitly supports paralleling: each device uses its own C1 capacitor, while sharing a common C2 output capacitor. Paralleling reduces effective output resistance per Equation 4 (ROUT = Rsingle/N), enabling higher load currents and lower droop. However, ensure matched layout and thermal management - uneven heating may cause current imbalance between parallel LM828M5 units.
What is the thermal performance limit for continuous operation of the LM828M5 in SOT-23-5 package?
The LM828M5 has a maximum junction temperature (TJMax) of 150°C and a thermal resistance θJA of 300°C/W in standard JEDEC high-K board conditions. At 25°C ambient and 25 mA load, power dissipation is ~125 mW - resulting in ~37.5°C junction rise. To stay within safe margins, keep ambient ≤85°C and ensure adequate copper pour under the exposed pad (if present) or adjacent GND traces to enhance heat spreading for the LM828M5.
