Product details
Overview
TC1044SEOA713 from Microchip Technology is a charge pump DC-DC voltage converter that inverts +1.5V to +12V input to –1.5V to –12V output using only two external capacitors. It delivers 99.9% voltage conversion efficiency, supports 10kHz/45kHz oscillator frequency selection via BOOST pin, and operates across –40°C to +85°C in 8-pin SOIC package for RS-232 negative power supply generation.
For engineers reviewing the TC1044SEOA713 datasheet, TC1044SEOA713 pinout, TC1044SEOA713 application, or TC1044SEOA713 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.5–12V), output source resistance (≤120Ω at 20mA), low quiescent current (80µA typ. at 5V), BOOST pin frequency control, and extended temperature operation without inductors.
Technical Context
The TC1044SEOA713 implements a four-switch MOS charge pump topology with logic-controlled substrate biasing to prevent latch-up across its full input range. Its internal oscillator operates at 10kHz nominally, scalable to 45kHz when BOOST pin is tied to V+, enabling smaller external capacitors.
It features dual-mode LV pin control: open for latch-up protection above 3.5V input, grounded for improved low-voltage operation below 3.5V. Output impedance is dominated by capacitive reactance of C1 at half-cycle switching frequency, yielding ~60Ω typical source resistance at 5V/20mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 12V - supports single-supply systems from low-power logic to industrial rails |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 99.9% typ. - minimizes energy loss during inversion, critical for battery-powered instrumentation |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10kHz (BOOST open) or 45kHz (BOOST = V+) - enables trade-off between capacitor size and EMI |
| Supply Current | 80µA typ. at VIN = 5V - ultra-low quiescent draw preserves system standby power budget |
| Output Source Resistance | 60Ω typ. at 20mA - defines load regulation and voltage droop under dynamic current demand |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly and thermal management |
Pinout & Package
TC1044SEOA713 is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (3.90mm × 4.90mm × 1.75mm), rated for 470mW power dissipation at TA ≤ 70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BOOST) | Oscillator frequency control input | Connect to V+ to raise FOSC from 10kHz to 45kHz; leave open or ground for nominal/low-frequency operation |
| 2 (CAP+) | Charge pump capacitor positive terminal | Drives external pump capacitor C1; polarity-sensitive with + terminal connected here |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | System return path for internal regulator, oscillator, and switch logic; must be low-impedance |
| 4 (CAP–) | Charge pump capacitor negative terminal | Completes C1 charging loop; connects to negative side of polarized electrolytic capacitor |
| 5 (VOUT) | Inverted output voltage node | Delivers –VIN; requires reservoir capacitor C2 to ground for ripple suppression |
| 6 (LV) | Low-voltage mode enable | Ground to disable internal regulator for <3.5V operation; leave open for >3.5V to prevent latch-up |
| 7 (OSC) | Oscillator timing node | Accepts external capacitor to ground for frequency reduction; may be driven by external clock via 1kΩ series resistor |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply input | Primary power rail; absolute max rating +13V; must be applied before any other inputs to avoid latch-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No inductor required | Enables compact, low-EMI DC-DC inversion using only two low-cost electrolytic capacitors |
| Frequency boost capability | 45kHz operation reduces required C1/C2 values by ~4.5× versus 10kHz, shrinking BOM footprint |
| Latch-up protection architecture | Active substrate bias control prevents destructive latch-up across full 1.5–12V input range |
| ESD robustness | 10kV HBM rating ensures reliability during handling and board-level integration |
| Wide temperature qualification | –40°C to +85°C operation validated per Microchip's industrial-grade screening flow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC7660CPA | Legacy predecessor; max input 10V, no BOOST pin, 8-pin DIP only, lower ESD rating (3kV) | Limited to commercial temp (0°C to +70°C); unsuitable for industrial ambient or 12V systems | Select only for legacy DIP board reuse where 10V max input suffices and SOIC is not feasible |
| MAX1044CPA | Same pinout; higher 15V abs max input; 100µA supply current; no LV pin control | Fixed internal regulator; cannot optimize for sub-3.5V operation like TC1044SEOA713 | Prefer when input exceeds 12V or when simplified LV handling is acceptable |
Compared with TC7660CPA and MAX1044CPA, TC1044SEOA713 uniquely combines extended –40°C to +85°C operation, BOOST-enabled frequency scaling, LV-selectable low-voltage mode, and 10kV ESD robustness in a space-efficient SOIC package-making it optimal for new industrial and portable designs requiring reliable, flexible inversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the TC1044SEOA713?
The TC1044SEOA713 supports a maximum continuous input voltage of +12V, with an absolute maximum rating of +13V. Exceeding +13V risks permanent damage. This 12V capability distinguishes it from earlier variants like the TC7660, which is limited to 10V, making TC1044SEOA713 suitable for wider industrial supply rails.
How does the BOOST pin affect TC1044SEOA713 performance?
When the BOOST pin of the TC1044SEOA713 is connected to V+, the internal oscillator frequency increases from 10kHz to 45kHz. This allows use of smaller external capacitors (e.g., 10µF instead of 47µF) while maintaining output ripple and regulation, reducing board area and BOM cost without sacrificing efficiency.
Can TC1044SEOA713 operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the TC1044SEOA713 can operate from a 3.3V supply, but the LV pin must be grounded to disable the internal voltage regulator and ensure proper low-voltage switching. At 3.3V, typical output is –3.1V at light loads, with conversion efficiency remaining above 99% and supply current near 80µA.
What is the purpose of the LV pin on the TC1044SEOA713?
The LV pin on the TC1044SEOA713 controls internal regulator activation: grounding it disables the regulator for optimized operation below 3.5V input, while leaving it open enables latch-up protection for inputs above 3.5V. Incorrect LV connection (e.g., grounding at 5V) risks device failure due to substrate bias violation.
Is TC1044SEOA713 pin-compatible with TC7660-based designs?
Yes, TC1044SEOA713 is fully pin-compatible with the TC7660 in both SOIC and DIP packages. It upgrades functionality with 12V input support, BOOST pin, LV control, and 10kV ESD protection-requiring no PCB changes when replacing TC7660 in existing layouts, provided the BOOST and LV pins are appropriately terminated.
