Product details
Overview
MC7660DR2 from onsemi is a charge pump DC-to-DC voltage converter IC that inverts +1.5 V to +10 V input to -1.5 V to -10 V output using only two external capacitors-no inductor required. It features 10 kHz internal oscillator, 99.9% voltage conversion efficiency, 80 µA supply current at 5.0 V input, and operates across -40°C to +85°C in SOIC-8 package. It is commonly used for RS-232 negative bias generation.
For engineers reviewing the MC7660DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its inverting topology, LV pin logic control for low-voltage operation, oscillator frequency adjustability via external capacitor, output source resistance of 70 Ω (typ.) at 25°C, and compatibility with polarized electrolytic pump/reservoir capacitors.
Technical Context
The MC7660DR2 implements a four-switch MOS charge pump architecture with integrated logic network and voltage-level translators that dynamically bias substrates of S3/S4 switches to prevent latch-up. Its internal voltage regulator is integral to anti-latch-up protection but can be disabled via LV pin grounding for improved low-voltage operation below 3.5 V.
Oscillator frequency is nominally 10 kHz and adjustable downward by connecting COSC (e.g., 100 pF lowers fOSC to 1.0 kHz); upward adjustment requires external TTL/CMOS clocking through a 1 kΩ series resistor. Output impedance is dominated by capacitive reactance of C1 (XC ≈ 3.18 Ω at 10 kHz, 10 µF), yielding ~70 Ω typical dynamic source resistance at 20 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5 V to +10 V - supports single-cell LiFePO₄, multi-cell alkaline, and standard logic rails without external regulation. |
| Output Voltage | -1.5 V to -10 V - precise inversion with ≤2% deviation at 1 mA load; no external feedback required. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz (nominal) - fixed internal timing enables predictable ripple and EMI profile; adjustable down to 1 kHz for ultra-low IQ. |
| Supply Current | 80 µA (typ.) at VIN = 5.0 V - enables battery-powered RS-232 transceivers and portable instrumentation. |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 99.9% (typ.) - minimizes energy loss during inversion, critical for low-power negative rail generation. |
| Output Source Resistance | 70 Ω (typ., 25°C, 20 mA) - defines voltage droop under load; parallel devices reduce effective ROUT linearly. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2.5 kV HBM - ensures robustness during board handling and system integration without added protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
MC7660DR2 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, D suffix, Case 751-07), with 1.27 mm pitch, body dimensions 4.9 × 3.9 mm, and maximum height 1.75 mm. Pin 1 is NC (no connect); pin 6 (LV) controls regulator enable/disable; pin 7 (OSC) allows oscillator frequency tuning.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Unused internal node; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid latch-up risk. |
| 2 (CAP+) | Pump Capacitor Positive Terminal | Drives charging phase of C1; connects to + terminal of polarized electrolytic pump capacitor. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal circuits; serves as reference for VOUT and LV logic level. |
| 4 (CAP-) | Pump Capacitor Negative Terminal | Completes charge-transfer path for C1; connects to – terminal of polarized pump capacitor. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Input Supply | Primary power input; supplies internal oscillator, logic, and switch drivers; range 1.5–10 V. |
| 6 (LV) | Low-Voltage Mode Control | Ground to disable regulator for VIN ≤ 3.5 V; leave open for VIN > 3.5 V to ensure latch-up immunity. |
| 7 (OSC) | Oscillator Timing Node | Connect external capacitor to GND to lower fOSC; drive externally with 1 kΩ series resistor for higher frequencies. |
| 8 (VOUT) | Negative Output Terminal | Delivers inverted output voltage; connects to + terminal of reservoir capacitor C2 (to GND). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless Inversion | Eliminates magnetic components, reducing PCB area, cost, and EMI-ideal for space-constrained RS-232 interfaces. |
| Configurable Oscillator | Internal 10 kHz clock adjustable down to 1 kHz via COSC; enables trade-off between efficiency and ripple/noise. |
| LV-Controlled Regulator | LV pin disables internal regulator below 3.5 V, improving conversion efficiency and enabling 1.5 V operation. |
| Self-Protected Substrate Biasing | Integrated logic network dynamically adjusts S3/S4 substrate voltages to prevent latch-up across temperature and load. |
| Polarized Capacitor Support | Validated for use with low-cost 10 µF polarized electrolytics-C1 (+) to CAP+, C2 (+) to GND-simplifying BOM. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7660CPA | Pin-compatible but older BiMOS process; 120 µA IQ (vs. 80 µA), 95% typical efficiency, no LV pin control. | Lacks LV mode-requires external regulator for <3.5 V operation; not qualified for extended temperature range. | Select when legacy design reuse is prioritized over efficiency or wide-temp support. |
| MAX660CPA | Higher 80 kHz oscillator; 160 µA IQ; includes shutdown pin; 92% efficiency; SO-8 package. | Higher-frequency operation reduces capacitor size but increases EMI sensitivity; no LV pin-fixed regulator. | Prefer for compact designs needing smaller 1 µF capacitors, accepting higher IQ and no low-voltage optimization. |
Compared with ICL7660CPA and MAX660CPA, the MC7660DR2 uniquely combines ultra-low quiescent current (80 µA), LV-controlled regulator for 1.5 V operation, and extended -40°C to +85°C qualification-making it optimal for battery-powered industrial and portable instrumentation where efficiency and temperature resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the MC7660DR2?
The MC7660DR2 supports a minimum input voltage of +1.5 V, verified across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range with LV pin grounded. At this voltage, it delivers a corresponding -1.5 V output with 97% voltage conversion efficiency and maintains stable oscillation at the nominal 10 kHz frequency, making it suitable for single-cell alkaline or LiFePO₄ battery-powered systems.
How does the LV pin affect MC7660DR2 operation?
The LV pin on the MC7660DR2 controls internal voltage regulator enablement: grounding LV disables the regulator to improve efficiency and enable reliable operation down to 1.5 V input; leaving LV open ensures latch-up immunity for inputs above 3.5 V. This dual-mode capability is unique to the MC7660DR2 and not present in pin-compatible alternatives like the ICL7660CPA.
Can the MC7660DR2 generate positive voltage multiplication?
Yes, the MC7660DR2 can generate positive voltage multiplication (e.g., +10 V from +5 V) using external diodes and capacitors as shown in Figure 9 of the datasheet. Its bidirectional MOS switches allow charge transfer in either direction, enabling both inversion and doubling topologies-though efficiency drops to ~92% in doubling mode due to diode forward voltage losses.
What is the recommended capacitor type and value for MC7660DR2?
The MC7660DR2 is validated for use with 10 µF polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors: C1 (pump) connected between CAP+ and CAP-, and C2 (reservoir) between VOUT and GND, with C2's + terminal tied to GND. For reduced ripple at light loads, increasing both capacitors proportionally with oscillator frequency reduction (e.g., 100 µF for 1 kHz fOSC) is required per datasheet guidance.
Is the MC7660DR2 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the MC7660DR2 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per onsemi's product change notification PCN-120701-01, with lead-free matte tin plating and compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The SOIC-8 package meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles and is rated for 260°C peak solder temperature.
