Product details
Overview
LMC7660IMX/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, features 200 μA max supply current, 97% voltage conversion efficiency, and operates across −40°C to +85°C in an 8-pin SOIC package - used in dual-rail op-amp biasing and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7660IMX/NOPB datasheet, LMC7660IMX/NOPB pinout, LMC7660IMX/NOPB application, or LMC7660IMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its diodeless operation over full voltage/temperature range, oscillator frequency adjustability via Cosc, low-impedance output capability through paralleling, and compatibility with legacy 7660 designs.
Technical Context
The LMC7660IMX/NOPB integrates four large CMOS power switches controlled by an internal RC oscillator and ÷2 divider to implement charge-pump inversion. Its substrate logic actively biases p-wells to prevent latchup, enabling safe operation up to 10.5V supply without external protection diodes.
It supports three operational modes: standard inversion (VOUT = −VIN), half-supply generation (VOUT = VIN/2), and synchronized external clock operation (pumping frequency = ½ fEXT). The LV pin enables optimized low-voltage performance below 3.5V when shorted to ground.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.5V to +10V - supports single-cell Li-ion, dual AA, and industrial 5V/9V rails without level-shifting. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.5V to −10V - precise inversion with ≤3% deviation at full load due to matched internal switches. |
| Supply Current | 120 μA typ, 200 μA max - enables >1-year battery life in μPower sensor nodes at 5 mA load. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz nominal - adjustable down to ~200 Hz with Cosc to reduce quiescent current to 10 μA. |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 97% min at no load - maintains ≥90% efficiency across 1.5–10V input and 1–10 kΩ loads. |
| Output Source Resistance | 55 Ω typ at 20 mA - allows direct driving of op-amp supplies or ADC reference buffers without external regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin electronics without derating. |
Pinout & Package
LMC7660IMX/NOPB uses an 8-pin SOIC (Package Drawing D) with 1.27 mm pitch, 3.91 mm width, and 1.75 mm max height - RoHS-compliant, green finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (V+) | Positive Input Supply | Accepts +1.5V to +10V; powers internal oscillator, switches, and level translator. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return; p-well bias reference for S3/S4; must be connected before any input. |
| 3 (LV) | Low-Voltage Mode Control | Short to GND for V+ ≤3.5V to improve startup and efficiency; leave open for V+ >3.5V. |
| 4 (Cp) | Pump Capacitor Terminal | Connects to positive plate of external electrolytic Cp; switched between V+ and GND during charge phase. |
| 5 (Cr) | Reservoir Capacitor Terminal | Connects to negative plate of external Cr; delivers regulated inverted output to load. |
| 6 (OSC) | Oscillator Timing Node | Internal RC node; connect external Cosc (100 pF–10 nF) to reduce frequency and supply current. |
| 7 (CLK) | External Clock Input | CMOS-level input accepting 20 kHz–1 MHz; overrides internal oscillator; output pumps at ½ fEXT. |
| 8 (V−) | Negative Output | Delivers inverted voltage; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA with <100 mV ripple using 10 μF Cr. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Diodeless Operation | Eliminates external series diode - preserves full output amplitude and reduces output impedance by ~2 Ω vs. legacy 7660. |
| Adjustable Oscillator | Frequency tunable from 10 kHz down to 200 Hz via Cosc - cuts supply current from 120 μA to 10 μA for ultra-low-power standby. |
| Parallelable Architecture | Multiple LMC7660IMX/NOPB units can share Cr while using individual Cp - scales output current and halves effective Rout. |
| Latchup-Immune Substrate Bias | On-chip p-well control prevents destructive latchup at V+ = 10.5V and TJ = 150°C - no derating required. |
| Half-Supply Generation | Reconfigurable as precision V+/2 splitter - enables rail-splitting for single-supply op-amps without resistive dividers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX660CPA+ | Higher 125 kHz fixed oscillator; 100 μA supply current; requires external timing capacitor for frequency adjustment. | Better suited for high-current (>25 mA), low-ripple applications where size permits larger Cr; less optimal for ultra-low-IQ designs. | Select MAX660CPA+ when higher output current and lower ripple are prioritized over minimum quiescent power. |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | Enhanced latchup immunity; 150 μA max supply current; wider −40°C to +125°C rating; same pinout and external component requirements. | Preferred for automotive engine bay or industrial control environments exceeding +85°C ambient. | Choose ICL7660SIPAZ when extended temperature operation or higher reliability margin is required - no layout changes needed. |
Compared with MAX660CPA+ and ICL7660SIPAZ, the LMC7660IMX/NOPB offers the lowest baseline supply current (120 μA typ) and unique LV pin for sub-3.5V optimization, making it ideal for long-life battery systems - whereas MAX660CPA+ trades IQ for speed, and ICL7660SIPAZ trades IQ for temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the LMC7660IMX/NOPB can handle?
The LMC7660IMX/NOPB has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 10.5V. It operates reliably across its full specified range of +1.5V to +10V, with internal regulation engaging above ~6.5V to limit power dissipation. Exceeding 10.5V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can the LMC7660IMX/NOPB generate a positive voltage multiplier?
Yes - the LMC7660IMX/NOPB can be configured as a positive voltage doubler using two external diodes (D1, D2) as shown in Figure 18. In this mode, only two internal switches are active, and the remaining pair can simultaneously perform negative conversion (Figure 19), enabling dual-polarity outputs from one device.
Does the LMC7660IMX/NOPB require an external diode for latchup protection?
No - the LMC7660IMX/NOPB incorporates substrate-level p-well biasing circuitry that prevents destructive latchup across its entire operating range (−40°C to +85°C, 1.5V to 10V). Unlike legacy 7660 variants, it operates safely without an external series diode, preserving output voltage and lowering source impedance.
How do I reduce the quiescent current of the LMC7660IMX/NOPB?
Connect an external capacitor (Cosc) between Pin 6 (OSC) and ground to lower the internal oscillator frequency. As shown in Figure 12, a 1 nF Cosc reduces frequency to ~1 kHz and supply current to ~30 μA; 10 nF achieves ~200 Hz and ~10 μA - enabling multi-year battery life in always-on sensors.
Is the LMC7660IMX/NOPB pin-compatible with the original 7660?
Yes - the LMC7660IMX/NOPB is explicitly designed as a pin-for-pin replacement for the industry-standard ICL7660 and MM7660. It uses identical SOIC-8 pinout, external component values (Cp, Cr), and functional behavior - allowing drop-in upgrades without PCB modification or firmware changes.
