Product details
Overview
LMC7660IM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter that inverts +1.5V to +10V input to −1.5V to −10V output without external diodes, delivers 97% voltage conversion efficiency, features 10 kHz internal oscillator, and supports rail-to-rail operation down to 1.5V supply - used in dual-supply op-amp biasing, portable instrumentation, and low-power sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7660IM/NOPB datasheet, LMC7660IM/NOPB pinout, LMC7660IM/NOPB application, or LMC7660IM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its diodeless operation across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 200 μA max supply current, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and direct replacement capability for legacy 7660 designs.
Technical Context
The LMC7660IM/NOPB integrates four large CMOS switches driven by an internal RC oscillator and ÷2 divider to implement charge-pump inversion. Its substrate logic actively biases p-wells to prevent latchup at all operating voltages up to 10.5V.
It operates with only two external electrolytic capacitors (Cp and Cr), supports LV pin control for optimized low-voltage performance below 3.5V, and allows external clock synchronization or oscillator frequency reduction via Cosc to achieve μA-level quiescent current.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.5V to +10V - enables direct battery-powered operation from single-cell Li-ion or dual AA/AAA sources |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.5V to −10V - provides precise inverted rail matching input magnitude without external diode drop |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | ≥97% (no load) - minimizes energy loss during inversion, critical for battery runtime extension |
| Supply Current | ≤200 μA - supports ultra-low-power systems such as portable medical sensors and backup power circuits |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz (typical) - sets base switching rate; adjustable downward to ~100 Hz with external Cosc capacitor |
| Output Source Resistance | ≤100 Ω @ 20 mA - defines maximum load capability before significant voltage sag under moderate current |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
LMC7660IM/NOPB uses an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 1.27 mm pitch, 3.9 mm width, and 1.75 mm max height per JEDEC MS-012 AA. Pin 1 is marked by notch or bevel; device marking reads "LMC76 60IM".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (V+) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts +1.5V to +10V input; powers internal oscillator, switches, and level translator |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal circuitry and external capacitors Cp/Cr |
| Pin 3 (LV) | Low-Voltage Mode Control | Short to GND for V+ ≤3.5V to improve low-voltage efficiency; must be open for V+ >3.5V |
| Pin 4 (Cp+) | Pump Capacitor Positive Terminal | Connects to positive lead of external pump capacitor Cp (typically 10–100 μF electrolytic) |
| Pin 5 (Cr−) | Reservoir Capacitor Negative Terminal | Connects to negative lead of reservoir capacitor Cr (typically 10–100 μF electrolytic) |
| Pin 6 (Cp−) | Pump Capacitor Negative Terminal | Connects to negative lead of Cp; forms charge-transfer path with Pin 4 |
| Pin 7 (OSC) | Oscillator Sink/Source | Provides timing signal output; can be overridden by external clock for synchronized operation |
| Pin 8 (V−) | Negative Output | Delivers inverted output voltage (−V+) - connects directly to load without series diode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7660CPA | Requires external diode for safe operation above 5V or 0°C; higher 300 μA max supply current; PDIP-8 only | Limited to low-temp, low-voltage designs; not suitable for automotive or wide-range industrial use | Select only if legacy PDIP layout reuse is mandatory and operating conditions stay within 1.5–5V/0–70°C |
| MAX1044CPA | No internal regulator; oscillator frequency drifts significantly with temperature; no LV pin for low-voltage optimization | Needs tighter thermal management and external compensation for stable output in variable-temperature environments | Prefer when existing MAX1044-based designs require minimal component change but accept reduced efficiency at extremes |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMC7660IM/NOPB?
The LMC7660IM/NOPB has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 10.5V. Continuous operation is specified from +1.5V to +10V, with guaranteed voltage conversion efficiency ≥90% across this full range. Exceeding 10.5V risks permanent damage to internal MOS switches and oscillator circuitry.
Does the LMC7660IM/NOPB require external diodes for safe operation?
No, the LMC7660IM/NOPB does not require external diodes under any condition within its rated operating range (−40°C to +85°C, +1.5V to +10V). Its integrated substrate biasing and latchup-immune design eliminate the need for series output diodes required by older 7660 variants like the ICL7660.
How do I configure the LMC7660IM/NOPB for optimal efficiency at 2.5V supply?
For 2.5V operation, short Pin 3 (LV) to GND to activate low-voltage mode, which optimizes internal biasing and reduces supply current. Use 22 μF tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors for Cp and Cr, and ensure PCB layout minimizes trace inductance between Pins 4/6 and 2/5 to preserve 97% voltage conversion efficiency.
Can the LMC7660IM/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LMC7660IM/NOPB supports external clock synchronization via Pin 7 (OSC). Applying a CMOS-compatible square wave to Pin 7 overrides the internal oscillator; the effective pumping frequency becomes half the external clock frequency due to the internal ÷2 divider stage.
What is the recommended capacitor type and value for LMC7660IM/NOPB in a 5 mA load application?
For a 5 mA load, use 47 μF low-ESR aluminum or tantalum electrolytic capacitors for both Cp and Cr. Place them within 5 mm of Pins 4/6 and 2/5 respectively, with ground plane beneath Cr. This configuration limits output ripple to <50 mV and maintains ≥95% power efficiency at +5V input.
