Product details
Overview
LM828M5X 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 portable operational amplifier and interface power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM828M5X datasheet, LM828M5X pinout, LM828M5X application, or LM828M5X equivalent, this device serves as a low-quiescent-current (40 µA), SOT-23 packaged charge-pump solution for space-constrained battery-powered systems requiring clean, regulated negative rail generation without inductors.
Technical Context
The LM828M5X implements a four-switch CMOS charge-pump topology operating at 12 kHz oscillator frequency (6 kHz switching frequency at CAP+), enabling voltage inversion via two external capacitors. Its internal MOSFET switches are sequenced to alternately charge and transfer energy between C1 (pumping) and C2 (output) capacitors.
Output voltage regulation relies on external component selection: output resistance (ROUT) depends on switch RDS(on), capacitor ESR, and oscillator frequency, while ripple is governed by C2 value and ESR. The device supports cascading for higher negative voltages and paralleling to reduce effective output impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - defines compatible single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or regulated supply rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.8V to −5.5V - inverted, unregulated output matching input magnitude under no-load conditions. |
| Max Output Current | 25 mA - usable load current before significant voltage droop or thermal derating occurs. |
| Supply Current (No Load) | 40 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power operation in standby or intermittent-use portable devices. |
| Output Impedance | 20 Ω typical at 5 mA - determines load-induced voltage drop and ripple sensitivity to capacitor ESR. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 kHz at CAP+ - sets minimum capacitor size and ripple frequency; lower than inductor-based converters but avoids EMI concerns of MHz switching. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package, 1.45 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, tape-and-reel delivery (3000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Negative voltage output | Delivers inverted output; connects to load return path and output capacitor cathode. |
| 2 (V+) | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.5V input; must be decoupled near pin to minimize noise coupling into charge pump. |
| 3 (CAP−) | Charge-pump capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative electrode of C1; forms half of flying capacitor node during charge-transfer phase. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for V+, OUT, and control logic; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 5 (CAP+) | Charge-pump capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive electrode of C1; switching node driven at 6 kHz; critical for EMI and layout stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage inversion without inductors | Enables compact, low-EMI negative rail generation using only two external capacitors - eliminates magnetic components and associated layout constraints. |
| 20 Ω typical output impedance | Supports stable operation with moderate loads (e.g., op-amp biasing) when paired with low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitors. |
| 97% conversion efficiency at 5 mA | Minimizes power loss and thermal rise in battery-critical applications such as handheld instruments and PDAs. |
| 40 µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle systems where negative supply remains active during sleep modes. |
| 12 kHz internal oscillator | Provides predictable timing for capacitor sizing and ripple filtering - avoids external clock dependencies or frequency drift issues. |
Applications
| Operational Amplifier Power Supplies | Interface Power Supplies |
|---|---|
|

Use Scenario: RS-232 or analog front-end ICs demand negative voltage for level-shifting or biasing in handheld data loggers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM828M5X provides isolated −3V to −5.5V rail synchronized to system enable signal; no external clock required. Use Value: Enables full-duplex serial communication or sensor biasing without increasing bill-of-materials or PCB layer count. |
| Cellular Phones & Pagers | Handheld Instruments |
|
Use Scenario: RF front-end modules or audio codecs in legacy GSM handsets require low-noise negative bias for analog circuitry. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM828M5X supplies −2.5V to −4.5V rail during active call or playback; shuts down with host control. Use Value: Delivers clean inversion with <10 mVpp ripple (using 10 µF X7R ceramics), avoiding interference with sensitive RF sections. |
Use Scenario: Digital multimeters and portable oscilloscopes use dual-rail op-amps for signal conditioning and ADC driver stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Higher 100 kHz switching frequency; 17 Ω typical ROUT; requires smaller capacitors but increases EMI risk. | Better suited for high-density layouts needing minimal capacitor footprint; less ideal for ultra-low-noise analog rails. | Select MAX680ESA+ when board space is constrained and ripple filtering can accommodate higher-frequency content. |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | Wider input range (1.5–12V); 35 Ω typical ROUT; 120 µA IQ; SOIC-8 package. | Compatible with higher-voltage battery stacks but consumes >3× more quiescent current and occupies larger area. | Choose ICL7660SIPAZ only if input exceeds 5.5V or SOT-23 footprint is not mandatory. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and ICL7660SIPAZ, the LM828M5X offers optimal balance of ultra-low quiescent current, SOT-23 compactness, and mid-frequency switching - making it preferred for portable instrumentation and low-power interface supplies where noise, size, and battery life are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for the LM828M5X?
The LM828M5X supports up to 25 mA of continuous output current under typical conditions. Absolute maximum ratings allow 50 mA peak, but sustained operation above 25 mA may cause excessive voltage droop due to its 20 Ω typical output impedance and thermal limits. For reliable performance in production designs, LM828M5X should be operated within the 25 mA recommended limit with appropriate capacitor selection.
Does the LM828M5X require external timing components or configuration pins?
No, the LM828M5X integrates a fixed 12 kHz oscillator and requires no external resistors, capacitors, or configuration pins for basic inverting operation. Only two external charge-pump capacitors (C1 and C2) are needed - typically 10 µF low-ESR ceramics - making LM828M5X a truly plug-and-play voltage inverter solution.
Can the LM828M5X generate regulated negative output voltage?
By itself, the LM828M5X provides unregulated inverted output. However, it can be combined with an external low-dropout linear regulator like the LP2980 to produce a regulated negative rail (e.g., −3.3V or −5.0V). The LM828M5X supplies the raw inverted voltage, and the LDO handles regulation - a proven method documented in TI's LM828 application notes.
What is the recommended capacitor type and value for stable LM828M5X operation?
Texas Instruments recommends 10 µF ceramic (X7R/X5R), tantalum, or low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors for both C1 (flying) and C2 (output). Ceramic capacitors are preferred for lowest ESR and smallest footprint. Using capacitors with ESR > 0.3 Ω degrades LM828M5X efficiency and increases output impedance beyond the specified 20 Ω typical value.
Is the LM828M5X RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LM828M5X/NOPB.B variant is RoHS-compliant and features Sn (tin) lead finish. It meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity requirements and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C - fully compatible with standard lead-free PCB assembly processes.
