Product details
Overview
LMC7660IN/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 PDIP package - used in dual-supply generation for op-amp biasing and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7660IN/NOPB datasheet, LMC7660IN/NOPB pinout, LMC7660IN/NOPB application, or LMC7660IN/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its diodeless operation over full voltage/temperature range, low-quiescent-current capability down to 10 μA via external timing capacitor, and compatibility with legacy 7660 designs while eliminating output-series-diode losses.
Technical Context
The LMC7660IN/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, enabling safe operation up to 10.5V supply without external diodes.
It supports three operating modes: standard inversion (VOUT = −VIN), half-supply generation (VOUT = VIN/2), and synchronized operation via external clock applied to Pin 7 - where the internal ÷2 circuit ensures pumping frequency equals half the input clock rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.5V to +10V - enables direct battery-powered operation from single-cell alkaline (1.5V) up to 9V PP3 or regulated rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | −1.5V to −10V - provides rail-to-rail negative supply matching input magnitude, critical for bipolar op-amp biasing. |
| Supply Current | 120 μA typ / 200 μA max at V+ = 5V - allows μPower systems (e.g., handheld meters) to sustain >1-year battery life. |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 97% min at no load - minimizes energy loss during inversion, reducing heat rise in sealed enclosures. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz nominal - sets default switching rate; adjustable down to ~100 Hz using external Cosc to cut supply current to ~10 μA. |
| Output Source Resistance | 55 Ω typ at 20 mA load - defines maximum deliverable current before >100 mV droop; limits usable load to ≤15 mA at ±5V output. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including sensor signal conditioning and data acquisition front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
LMC7660IN/NOPB uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch, compliant with JEDEC MS-001, rated for 1.4W power dissipation and 90°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; must be low-impedance connection. |
| Pin 2 (Cp) | Pump Capacitor Terminal | Connects to positive plate of external pump capacitor Cp; polarity must match datasheet Figure 1. |
| Pin 3 (Cr) | Reservoir Capacitor Terminal | Connects to negative plate of reservoir capacitor Cr; forms output storage node with polarity-sensitive electrolytic. |
| Pin 4 (V+) | Positive Input Supply | Accepts +1.5V to +10V unregulated input; internal regulator activates above 6.5V to reduce power dissipation. |
| Pin 5 (LV) | Low-Voltage Mode Control | Short to GND for V+ ≤3.5V to improve low-voltage efficiency; must remain open for V+ ≥3.5V to avoid damage. |
| Pin 6 (OSC) | Oscillator Timing Node | Connects external Cosc capacitor to lower oscillator frequency and quiescent current; open for default 10 kHz operation. |
| Pin 7 (CLK) | External Clock Input | Overrides internal oscillator when driven with CMOS-level square wave; pumping frequency = CLK/2. |
| Pin 8 (V−) | Negative Output | Delivers inverted output voltage; requires external reservoir capacitor Cr and load decoupling per application layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Diodeless Operation | Eliminates series diode voltage drop and forward-conduction loss, enabling full −V+ output amplitude and <100 mΩ effective output impedance at light loads. |
| Pin-for-Pin Compatibility | Direct replacement for legacy 7660 ICs without PCB modification, retaining identical footprint and terminal functions. |
| Adjustable Oscillator | External Cosc capacitor reduces switching frequency from 10 kHz to <100 Hz, cutting supply current to ~10 μA for ultra-low-power backup supplies. |
| Latchup Immunity | Integrated substrate biasing prevents destructive latchup under full temperature/voltage range, removing need for external protection diodes. |
| Half-Supply Generation | Reconfigurable as precision V+/2 reference for single-supply sensor interfaces or mid-rail biasing in ADC drivers. |
Applications
| Portable Instrumentation Power | Op-Amp Dual-Supply Biasing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC7660IM/NOPB | Same electrical specs and pinout, but in SOIC-8 package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) with 0.6W power rating and 160°C/W θJA. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs and automated assembly; lower thermal mass limits continuous 20 mA output in ambient >60°C. | Select LMC7660IM/NOPB for surface-mount production; retain LMC7660IN/NOPB for through-hole prototyping or high-reliability industrial modules. |
| MAX1044CPA+ | Requires external diodes for latchup protection; 100 μA typical supply current; 85% voltage efficiency; supports up to ±18V output via cascading. | Used where higher output voltage or multi-stage inversion is required, but adds 0.3V diode drop and needs extra BOM components. | Choose MAX1044CPA+ only when >−10V output or legacy design continuity with diode-based topologies is mandatory. |
Compared with LMC7660IM/NOPB, the LMC7660IN/NOPB offers superior thermal derating in high-ambient environments due to its PDIP package's 1.4W power handling and 90°C/W θJA, while MAX1044CPA+ trades efficiency and simplicity for extended voltage range at the cost of added diodes and reduced light-load efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMC7660IN/NOPB can accept?
The LMC7660IN/NOPB has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 10.5V, with guaranteed operation from +1.5V to +10V. Exceeding 10.5V risks permanent damage to internal MOS switches and oscillator circuitry. For reliable long-term use, keep V+ ≤10V and ensure transient spikes are clamped below 10.5V using external Zener or TVS protection.
Can the LMC7660IN/NOPB generate voltages other than −V+?
Yes - the LMC7660IN/NOPB supports multiple configurations beyond basic inversion. When wired per Figure 17 in the datasheet, it functions as a precision V+/2 divider. With external diodes (Figure 18), it becomes a positive voltage doubler. Cascading two units (Figure 15) yields −2×V+, and paralleling devices (Figure 14) lowers output impedance. All modes retain the same pin assignments and internal switching architecture.
How does the LV pin affect LMC7660IN/NOPB performance?
The LV pin (Pin 5) enables low-voltage optimization: shorting it to GND improves efficiency and regulation for V+ ≤3.5V by bypassing the internal regulator. Leaving it open is mandatory for V+ ≥3.5V - connecting LV to GND above this threshold causes irreversible damage due to internal node overstress. This pin has no function in standard 5V or 9V applications unless explicitly operating near 1.5V.
Is the LMC7660IN/NOPB RoHS compliant?
Yes - the LMC7660IN/NOPB carries the "/NOPB" suffix indicating lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction with green (halogen-free) molding compound and Sn (matte tin) lead finish. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for all 10 restricted substances, including Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, and PBDE, with concentrations ≤0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials.
What external components are required for basic LMC7660IN/NOPB operation?
Only two polarized electrolytic capacitors are mandatory: a pump capacitor (Cp, typically 10–100 μF) between Pins 2 and 4, and a reservoir capacitor (Cr, typically 10–100 μF) between Pins 3 and 8. Both must observe correct polarity per Figure 1. No diodes, inductors, or resistors are needed for standard inversion - making LMC7660IN/NOPB one of the simplest charge-pump solutions available.
