Product details
Overview
SI7661DY 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 analog systems requiring clean, low-noise negative rails for op-amps and data converters.
For engineers reviewing the SI7661DY datasheet, SI7661DY pinout, SI7661DY application, or SI7661DY equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, load regulation performance under 100mA, switching frequency stability at 10kHz, and thermal behavior in SOIC-8 packages.
Technical Context
The SI7661DY employs a charge-pump topology with on-chip oscillator and MOSFET switches, eliminating need for external inductors. It delivers fixed -VIN output with internal feedback and precision bandgap reference.
Designed for low-EMI operation, it features soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current and includes thermal shutdown protection at +150°C. Output ripple is specified at 50mVP-P max with 10µF ceramic output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed -VIN; enables rail-to-rail bipolar operation without external resistors |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 20V; supports wide industrial supply rails including 5V, 12V, and 15V systems |
| Max Output Current | 100mA; sufficient for powering dual-opamp stages or small-signal ADC/DAC bias networks |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±0.5% over line/load/temperature; ensures stable reference and signal chain biasing |
| Switching Frequency | 10kHz typical; reduces EMI filtering burden compared to higher-frequency charge pumps |
| Quiescent Current | 220µA max; minimizes standby power in battery-backed instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
SI7661DY is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150mil width) with standard thermal pad layout and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5V–20V DC; connects directly to system's main positive rail |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal oscillator circuits |
| VOUT | Negative output | Delivers regulated -VIN; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor |
| C1+ | Charge pump flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to one side of external 10µF flying capacitor (C1) |
| C1− | Charge pump flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to other side of C1; forms switched-capacitor energy transfer path |
| C2+ | Output filter capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 10µF output capacitor (C2); ties to GND |
| C2− | Output filter capacitor negative terminal | Connects to VOUT; completes low-ESR output filtering network |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICL7662CPA+ | Same architecture and pinout; uses DIP-8 package instead of SOIC-8; slightly higher quiescent current (250µA) | Suitable for prototyping and through-hole PCBs; less suitable for high-density automated assembly | Choose ICL7662CPA+ only when DIP-8 mechanical fit or hand-soldering is required |
| MAX680CPA+ | Higher switching frequency (125kHz); requires smaller flying capacitors but increases EMI risk | Better for space-constrained designs; not recommended in noise-sensitive analog signal chains | Select MAX680CPA+ only when board area is critical and EMI filtering can be added |
Compared with ICL7662CPA+ and MAX680CPA+, the SI7661DY offers optimal balance of SOIC-8 manufacturability, 10kHz EMI profile, and thermal robustness for industrial and medical analog power rails - making it preferred for volume production where reliability and layout simplicity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the SI7661DY?
The SI7661DY supports a maximum input voltage of 20V DC, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings table. This allows direct use with common industrial 12V and 15V rails, and accommodates transient spikes up to 20V without damage. Operation above 20V risks permanent failure of internal charge-pump switches. The SI7661DY must be operated within this limit to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
Does the SI7661DY require external capacitors, and if so, what values are recommended?
Yes, the SI7661DY requires two external ceramic capacitors: a 10µF flying capacitor (C1) between C1+ and C1− pins, and a 10µF output capacitor (C2) between C2+ (GND) and C2− (VOUT). These values are specified in the device's recommended operating conditions and ensure stable regulation, low ripple (<50mVP-P), and proper soft-start behavior. Using lower values may cause regulation loss or startup failure in the SI7661DY.
Is the SI7661DY pin-compatible with the ICL7662 series?
Yes, the SI7661DY is pin-compatible with the ICL7662CPA+ and ICL7662CBA+ in SOIC-8 packages, sharing identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior. However, the SI7661DY is Maxim's rebranded version with identical die and qualification - no PCB redesign is needed when substituting SI7661DY for ICL7662 variants in SOIC-8 footprints.
What is the typical output ripple of the SI7661DY under full load?
The SI7661DY delivers typical output ripple of 35mVP-P at 100mA load with recommended 10µF ceramic capacitors, measured at 10kHz switching frequency. Maximum ripple is specified as 50mVP-P across temperature and line variations. This low ripple supports high-precision analog circuits, and the SI7661DY maintains this performance without additional LC filtering in most applications.
Does the SI7661DY include thermal protection, and at what junction temperature does it activate?
Yes, the SI7661DY integrates thermal shutdown protection that activates at +150°C junction temperature, disabling the internal oscillator and switches until temperature falls below +135°C hysteresis threshold. This protects the device during sustained overload or inadequate PCB copper pour. The SI7661DY resumes normal operation automatically after cooling, ensuring robustness in thermally demanding environments like automotive body control modules.
