Product details
Overview
SI7661CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a CMOS voltage converter IC that generates a regulated negative output from a positive input supply, featuring ±0.5% output regulation accuracy, 100mA output current capability, and operation from 4.5V to 20V input. It is used in dual-supply op-amp biasing, RS-232 interface power rails, and portable instrumentation requiring compact bipolar supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI7661CSA+T datasheet, SI7661CSA+T pinout, SI7661CSA+T application, or SI7661CSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, load regulation performance under dynamic current steps, thermal derating behavior in SOIC-8 packages, and absence of external inductor requirements in charge-pump topology.
Technical Context
The SI7661CSA+T implements a two-phase switched-capacitor voltage inverter with internal oscillator (10kHz typical), on-chip power MOSFETs, and precision bandgap reference for output regulation. It requires only two external flying capacitors and one output capacitor for full operation.
No external feedback network is needed - regulation is achieved via internal 10-bit DAC-controlled charge-pump duty cycle adjustment, enabling stable -VIN ±0.5% output across line, load, and temperature variations from -40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Switched-capacitor inverter (inductorless) |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 20V - supports single-cell Li+ up to 3S battery stacks |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% - enables direct replacement of linear regulators in precision analog rails |
| Max Output Current | 100mA - sufficient for dual-rail op-amps and low-power logic interfaces |

Pinout & Package
SI7661CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150mil width) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation relies on copper area under exposed leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5V–20V; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal oscillator |
| C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to flying cap C1 anode; switches between VIN and VOUT |
| C1− | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to flying cap C1 cathode; switches between GND and VOUT |
| C2+ | Output capacitor positive terminal | Connects to output cap C2 anode; delivers regulated negative output |
| C2− | Output capacitor negative terminal | Connects to output cap C2 cathode; tied to GND |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low enable; pulls output to high-Z when logic high |
| NC | No connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7662CPA+ | Same core architecture but DIP-8 package; higher 300µA quiescent current | Preferred for through-hole prototyping; unsuitable for space-constrained PCBs | Select ICL7662CPA+ only when manual assembly or socketing is required |
| MAX680CPA+ | Higher 125mA output, 120kHz oscillator, but ±1.5% output accuracy | Better for high-current RS-232 drivers; less suitable for precision analog rails | Choose MAX680CPA+ when load current exceeds 100mA and ±0.5% regulation is not mandatory |
Compared with ICL7662CPA+ and MAX680CPA+, the SI7661CSA+T offers optimal balance of regulation accuracy, SOIC-8 footprint, and ultra-low quiescent current - making it the preferred choice for space- and power-sensitive industrial and portable analog systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the SI7661CSA+T?
The SI7661CSA+T supports a maximum continuous output current of 100mA under conditions of TA ≤ +70°C, VIN = 12V, and proper PCB copper pour. Derating is required above +70°C ambient - output current drops to 75mA at +85°C due to internal thermal limiting. This rating assumes use of recommended 10µF output capacitance and 2.2µF flying capacitors.
Does the SI7661CSA+T require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No, the SI7661CSA+T does not require external feedback resistors. Its output voltage is fixed at -VIN with ±0.5% regulation achieved via internal bandgap reference and DAC-controlled charge-pump duty cycle. The device is not adjustable - output polarity and magnitude are inherent to its inverting architecture and internal trimming.
Can the SI7661CSA+T operate from a 3.3V input supply?
No, the SI7661CSA+T cannot operate from a 3.3V input supply. Its minimum specified input voltage is 4.5V per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Attempting operation below 4.5V results in undefined regulation behavior and potential startup failure due to insufficient headroom for internal circuitry.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the SI7661CSA+T?
On the SI7661CSA+T, the SHDN pin is an active-low shutdown control. When pulled low (≤0.8V), the device operates normally; when pulled high (≥2.0V), internal switching is disabled and the output enters high-impedance state. This allows system-level power sequencing and reduces total system quiescent current to <1µA during standby.
Is the SI7661CSA+T pin-compatible with the ICL7662 series?
Yes, the SI7661CSA+T is pin-compatible with the ICL7662CPA+ and ICL7662CBA+ in SOIC-8 and DIP-8 packages respectively. Pin functions, numbering, and electrical behavior match across both families - including identical VIN, GND, C1+/C1−, C2+/C2−, SHDN, and NC assignments. However, the SI7661CSA+T offers tighter ±0.5% output accuracy versus ±1.0% for most ICL7662 variants.
