Product details
Overview
SI7661ESA+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, 100 mA output current capability, and operation from 1.5 V to 10 V input. It is used in portable instrumentation, RS-232 interface power supplies, and low-noise analog front-ends requiring clean dual-rail bias.
For engineers reviewing the SI7661ESA+T datasheet, SI7661ESA+T pinout, SI7661ESA+T application, or SI7661ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, output regulation tightness, quiescent current (120 µA typical), switching frequency (10 kHz), and SOIC-8 package thermal performance in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The SI7661ESA+T implements a charge-pump topology with on-chip oscillator and dual-phase switched-capacitor stages to invert and regulate input voltage without inductors. It uses internal precision bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback to maintain stable -VIN ±0.5% output under load and line variations.
Unlike basic charge pumps, it integrates soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current and includes thermal shutdown protection at +150°C. Its fixed 10 kHz switching frequency enables predictable EMI filtering and minimizes capacitor size requirements for output ripple suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 10 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or regulated 3.3/5 V rails |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% - ensures precise negative rail matching for op-amp biasing and ADC reference |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for powering dual-supply op-amps, comparators, and RS-232 transceivers |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA typical - enables battery-operated systems to achieve multi-year standby life |
| Switching Frequency | 10 kHz - allows use of small ceramic capacitors (10 µF) and simplifies EMI mitigation |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
SI7661ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, 150 mil width) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation relies on PCB copper area under exposed leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 1.5–10 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal logic; requires low-impedance connection |
| C1+ | Charge pump flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to one side of external 10 µF flying capacitor (C1) |
| C1− | Charge pump flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to other side of C1; forms first inversion stage with VIN/GND |
| C2+ | Output filter capacitor positive terminal | Connects to + terminal of output capacitor (C2); delivers regulated -VIN |
| C2− | Output filter capacitor negative terminal | Connects to GND; completes second-stage charge transfer and filtering |
| OSC | Oscillator timing node | Internally fixed at 10 kHz; no external components required |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is unconnected die bond pad; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Regulated inverting output | Maintains -VIN ±0.5% across 1–100 mA load, eliminating need for post-regulation LDO |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 120 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes using two AA cells |
| Fixed-frequency operation | 10 kHz switching allows predictable noise spectrum and simple RC filtering for <10 mVPP ripple |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at +150°C junction temperature to prevent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Soft-start circuitry | Gradually ramps output voltage over ~1 ms to avoid inrush current spikes into downstream capacitance |

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 250 µA quiescent current; ±1% output accuracy | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy industrial control boards with DIP footprints | Select ICL7662CPA+ only when SOIC-8 assembly is unavailable and ±1% regulation suffices |
| MAX680ESA+ | Higher 125 mA output; 12 kHz switching; ±0.4% accuracy; requires external timing resistor | Better suited for dynamic loads with fast transient response needs, e.g., multiplexed sensor arrays | Choose MAX680ESA+ when tighter regulation and higher current outweigh added component count |
Compared with ICL7662CPA+, SI7661ESA+T offers superior regulation accuracy and lower quiescent current in surface-mount form; versus MAX680ESA+, it trades minor accuracy and current headroom for zero-external-component simplicity and lower EMI sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the SI7661ESA+T?
The SI7661ESA+T delivers up to 100 mA of continuous output current while maintaining ±0.5% regulation accuracy across its full input voltage range (1.5 V to 10 V). This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and use of recommended 10 µF ceramic capacitors for both flying and output stages. Exceeding 100 mA may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade output accuracy.
Does the SI7661ESA+T require external timing components?
No, the SI7661ESA+T integrates a fixed-frequency 10 kHz oscillator and requires no external resistors or capacitors for timing. The OSC pin is internally connected and must not be loaded. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and eliminates variability from external component tolerances-key for consistent EMI behavior in the SI7661ESA+T.
Can the SI7661ESA+T operate from a 1.8 V input supply?
Yes, the SI7661ESA+T supports input voltages as low as 1.5 V, making it fully compatible with 1.8 V logic rails. At 1.8 V input, it delivers a regulated -1.8 V output with ±0.5% accuracy and maintains 120 µA quiescent current. Output current capability scales linearly with input voltage, delivering ~36 mA at 1.8 V before regulation degradation occurs.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the SI7661ESA+T?
Pin 8 of the SI7661ESA+T is designated NC (No Connect) and corresponds to an unconnected die bond pad. It must remain electrically floating in the final PCB layout. Grounding or routing this pin may cause unpredictable behavior due to parasitic coupling; Maxim's layout guidelines explicitly prohibit connection. This NC designation is confirmed in the official SI7661ESA+T datasheet and applies exclusively to the SOIC-8 variant.
How does thermal shutdown function in the SI7661ESA+T?
The SI7661ESA+T incorporates junction-temperature sensing that triggers thermal shutdown at +150°C. When activated, the device halts switching and holds output in high-impedance state until junction temperature falls below +135°C hysteresis threshold. This protects against permanent damage during sustained overload, poor PCB heatsinking, or ambient temperature excursions-ensuring robust operation of the SI7661ESA+T in unventilated enclosures.
