Product details
Overview
TC682EOA from Microchip Technology is a CMOS charge pump voltage inverter that generates a regulated negative output voltage equal to –2×VIN from a single positive input supply (2.4V to 5.5V). It delivers up to 10 mA output current with 140 Ω typical source resistance, 92% power efficiency, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It serves as an LCD bias generator or op-amp dual-rail supply in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TC682EOA datasheet, TC682EOA pinout, TC682EOA application, or TC682EOA equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 8-pin SOIC package, low 185 µA quiescent current, and compatibility with 3.3 µF low-ESR external capacitors for full implementation.
Technical Context
The TC682EOA integrates a fixed-frequency 12 kHz oscillator and four internal MOSFET switches to implement a two-phase charge pump topology. It uses external C1 and C2 pump capacitors to transfer and invert charge, then delivers the inverted doubled output (VOUT = –2×VIN) through a reservoir capacitor C3.
Its on-chip Zener clamps limit VIN to 5.8 V and VOUT to –11.6 V, preventing damage during overvoltage transients. Output regulation relies entirely on passive component selection-no feedback loop or voltage reference is integrated.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.4 V to +5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3 V), USB (5 V), and logic rails without external regulators |
| Output Voltage | VOUT = –2 × VIN - provides –4.8 V to –11 V output, e.g., –6 V from 3 V battery or –10 V from 5 V logic supply |
| Max Output Current | 10 mA - sufficient for biasing LCD segments, op-amp inputs, or low-power analog circuitry |
| Supply Current | 185 µA (typ.) - enables multi-year battery life in handheld instruments with no load |
| Oscillator Frequency | 12 kHz (typ.) - determines ripple frequency and allows use of low-cost ceramic capacitors |
| Output Source Resistance | 140 Ω (typ. at 25°C) - defines voltage droop under load: ΔV = IOUT × 140 Ω |
| Power Efficiency | 92% (typ. at 2 kΩ load) - minimizes heat generation and extends battery runtime |
Pinout & Package
TC682EOA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 3.99 mm width, and 4.90 mm length per Microchip drawing 00002C. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; Pin 8 is NC (no connection) and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1– | Capacitor C1 negative terminal | Connects to negative side of first pump capacitor; critical for phase-1 charge transfer |
| C2+ | Capacitor C2 positive terminal | Connects to positive side of second pump capacitor; forms inversion node during phase 1 |
| C2– | Capacitor C2 negative terminal | Connects to negative side of second pump capacitor; referenced to ground during phase 2 |
| VOUT | Negative output voltage | Delivers regulated –2×VIN; requires external reservoir capacitor (C3) for ripple reduction |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, oscillator, and output stages; must be low-impedance |
| VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V DC; internally clamped to 5.8 V max to prevent damage |
| C1+ | Capacitor C1 positive terminal | Connects to positive side of first pump capacitor; switched between VIN and GND each cycle |
| NC | No connection | Pin 8 is unbonded; must be left floating-no trace or solder mask required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX682ESA+ | Higher 100 kHz oscillator; 125 Ω typical ROUT; requires 1 µF pump caps vs. 3.3 µF for TC682EOA | Better suited for low-ripple, high-current loads (>15 mA); less tolerant of ESR variation | Select MAX682ESA+ when higher switching frequency reduces capacitor size and board area is critical |
| TPS60403DBVR | Fixed 500 kHz frequency; 110 Ω ROUT; integrated soft-start; requires only two 1 µF capacitors | Designed for ultra-low-noise analog rails; includes enable pin and thermal shutdown | Choose TPS60403DBVR for new designs needing tighter regulation, lower EMI, or production-ready protection features |
Compared with MAX682ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the TC682EOA offers superior temperature range (–40°C to +85°C vs. –40°C to +85°C for MAX682ESA+, –40°C to +125°C for TPS60403DBVR), lower quiescent current (185 µA vs. 250 µA and 120 µA), and proven reliability in legacy industrial systems-but lacks enable control or thermal protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TC682EOA can tolerate?
The TC682EOA has an absolute maximum VIN rating of +5.8 V, enforced by internal Zener clamping. Operation above +5.5 V is not recommended-exceeding +5.8 V risks permanent damage. At +5.5 V input, the TC682EOA delivers up to –11 V output with 10 mA load and 140 Ω source resistance. Always verify input transient suppression in systems where VIN may spike beyond nominal rails.
Can the TC682EOA generate regulated output voltage?
No-the TC682EOA is an unregulated charge pump inverter. Its output voltage follows VOUT ≈ –2×VIN minus droop (IOUT × ROUT). For example, with VIN = 3.0 V and IOUT = 5 mA, VOUT ≈ –6.0 V – (0.005 × 140) = –6.7 V. To achieve regulation, pair the TC682EOA with an external negative LDO such as the TC54VC2702Exx, as shown in Figure 4-3 of the TC682EOA datasheet.
What capacitor values are recommended for optimal TC682EOA performance?
Microchip specifies 3.3 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitors for C1 and C2, and 10–22 µF for C3 (reservoir). With 3.3 µF pump caps and 10 µF C3, the TC682EOA achieves 140 Ω ROUT and <60 mVpp ripple at 10 mA. Larger C1/C2 values reduce ROUT but increase start-up time; larger C3 reduces ripple but adds cost and footprint. Avoid electrolytics-high ESR degrades efficiency and increases droop.
Is the TC682EOA pin-compatible with other variants in the TC682 family?
Yes-the TC682EOA shares identical pinout and electrical behavior with TC682COA, TC682CPA, and TC682EPA. All use the same 8-pin SOIC or PDIP footprint and functional block diagram. The sole difference is temperature grade: TC682EOA is rated for –40°C to +85°C, while TC682COA/CPA are 0°C to +70°C. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from COA to EOA for extended-temperature deployment.
Does the TC682EOA require external clocking or control signals?
No-the TC682EOA contains a fully integrated 12 kHz oscillator and requires no external clock, enable, or sync signals. All operation is autonomous after power-up: VIN applied, three capacitors connected (C1, C2, C3), and VOUT becomes active within milliseconds. This simplifies design for cost-sensitive, low-complexity applications like panel meters and basic LCD biasing where minimal external components are mandatory.
