Product details
Overview
ST662ABN from STMicroelectronics is a regulated charge pump DC-DC converter designed to generate a stable 12V ±5% output from a 4.5–5.5V input for byte-wide flash memory programming. It delivers up to 30mA output current, features logic-controlled shutdown (1µA quiescent), and requires only external capacitors-no inductor. Its SO-8 package supports surface-mount integration in compact embedded programming supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ST662ABN datasheet, ST662ABN pinout, ST662ABN application, or ST662ABN equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12V regulation under 30mA load, CMOS-compatible active-high shutdown, capacitor-only topology, thermal performance at 85°C ambient, and compatibility with flash memory VPP supply requirements per JEDEC standards.
Technical Context
The ST662ABN implements a voltage-tripling charge pump architecture using two external flying capacitors (C1, C2) switched in alternating phases to step up 5V input to 12V output. An internal error amplifier monitors VOUT and disables the 400kHz oscillator when regulation is achieved, minimizing ripple and improving efficiency.
Its shutdown circuitry uses an internally pulled-up CMOS input (SHDN) that disables both charge pumps when driven low, forcing VOUT = VCC and reducing total supply current to 1µA. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C (AB series), with thermal resistance Rthj-case = 20°C/W and maximum power dissipation of 500mW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 12V ±5% (11.4–12.6V) regulated over 0–30mA load and 4.75–5.5V input - ensures reliable Flash VPP compliance. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 400kHz fixed - defines switching period for capacitor charge/discharge timing and EMI profile. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA typical (max 500µA) - enables low-power operation during active programming standby. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA typical (max 10µA) - minimizes system-level leakage when Flash is idle. |
| Efficiency | 72% at 5V input, 30mA load - balances power loss and thermal rise in space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Switch Impedance | 1–2kΩ (RON-equivalent) - limits max output current per device and informs parallel-device scaling strategy. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualifies for industrial-grade Flash programming in embedded controllers and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
ST662ABN is housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline-8) surface-mount package with standard 1.27mm pitch, 5.0mm width, and 4.0mm body length. Thermal resistance is 20°C/W junction-to-case, supporting continuous 30mA operation at +85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 C1− | Negative terminal of first flying capacitor | Return path during C1 charging phase; must be routed with low-inductance loop to minimize noise. |
| 2 C1+ | Positive terminal of first flying capacitor | Node connected to internal switch S1; forms half of voltage-doubling stage with C2. |
| 3 C2− | Negative terminal of second flying capacitor | Common node between C1 and C2 during series stacking; critical for voltage tripling integrity. |
| 4 C2+ | Positive terminal of second flying capacitor | Output node of stacked charge pump; feeds VOUT through internal rectification and filtering. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input (4.5–5.5V) | Power source for internal oscillator, control logic, and switch drivers; requires local 4.7µF decoupling. |
| 6 VOUT | Regulated 12V output | Delivers programming voltage to Flash VPP pin; drops to VCC level during shutdown mode. |
| 7 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external capacitors; must be low-impedance plane. |
| 8 SHDN | Active-high CMOS shutdown input | Internally pulled up to VCC; drive low for normal operation, high to enter 1µA shutdown state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-only topology | Eliminates inductors entirely - reduces BOM cost, board area, and EMI concerns in dense Flash controller layouts. |
| CMOS-compatible shutdown | Direct interface with microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting - simplifies control logic and firmware sequencing. |
| Voltage-tripling architecture | Generates 12V from 5V input using dual flying caps and internal switching - avoids transformer-based isolation complexity. |
| Thermal robustness | Rated for continuous operation at +85°C ambient with 500mW Ptot - supports uncooled deployment in industrial programmers. |
| Low-noise regulation | Error-amplifier feedback stabilizes VOUT within ±5% across temperature and load - meets JEDEC Flash VPP tolerance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Fixed 12V output, 100mA capability, ±1.5% initial accuracy, 125kHz oscillator | Higher current and tighter regulation, but larger SO-8 footprint and higher quiescent current (250µA) | Preferred where >30mA Flash programming or tighter VPP tolerance is required. |
| TC7660SCOA | Voltage inverter (±VOUT), not booster; requires external resistors for regulation; no shutdown pin | Only suitable for unregulated negative rail generation - cannot replace ST662ABN's 12V positive boost function | Not a functional substitute; only considered if system redesign allows inverted topology and external regulation. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TC7660SCOA, ST662ABN uniquely combines 30mA 12V boosting, 1µA shutdown, and capacitor-only implementation in a thermally optimized SO-8 package - making it the most direct fit for space- and power-constrained Flash VPP applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ST662ABN to maintain 12V regulation at full 30mA load?
The ST662ABN maintains 12V ±5% regulation down to 4.75V input at 30mA load, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3). Below 4.75V, output voltage droops linearly and falls outside specification; operation below 4.5V risks functional failure per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Can ST662ABN be used to generate voltages other than 12V?
No - ST662ABN is a fixed 12V-output charge pump with internal feedback resistor network. The datasheet confirms no external resistor adjustment is supported. For higher outputs, STMicroelectronics recommends cascading two ST662ABN units (Figure 19) or using alternative topologies like boost converters with adjustable feedback.
Why does VOUT equal VCC during shutdown mode?
During shutdown, internal charge pumps and oscillator are disabled, disconnecting the voltage-tripling path. VOUT is then clamped to VCC via an internal diode (D1 referenced in Figure 10), ensuring safe, predictable behavior instead of floating or undefined voltage - critical for Flash device protection during idle states.
Which capacitor types and values are mandatory for stable ST662ABN operation?
Per Table 1 (page 7), ceramic flying capacitors C1/C2 (0.22µF each) are mandatory for proper charge transfer timing. Input capacitor C3 (4.7µF tantalum/electrolytic) and output capacitor C4 (4.7µF tantalum/electrolytic) are required for stability and ripple suppression; ceramic C5 (0.1µF) is recommended for high-frequency decoupling near pins 5 and 7.
