Product details
Overview
TC7660EOA713 from Microchip Technology is a charge pump DC-to-DC voltage converter IC that inverts +1.5V to +10V input to corresponding -1.5V to -10V output using only two external capacitors-no inductor required. It operates at 10 kHz nominal oscillator frequency, delivers 99.9% typical voltage conversion efficiency, and features 70 Ω typical output source resistance at 25°C. It is widely used in RS-232 negative power supplies and data acquisition instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TC7660EOA713 datasheet, TC7660EOA713 pinout, TC7660EOA713 application, or TC7660EOA713 equivalent, key selection considerations include its extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), SOIC-8 narrow-body package with tape-and-reel delivery, low 80 µA typical supply current at 5V, and compatibility with simple ±5V dual-supply generation from single +5V rails.
Technical Context
The TC7660EOA713 implements a two-phase switched-capacitor inverter topology with internal RC oscillator and logic-controlled MOSFET switches. Its operation relies on charge transfer between flying (CAP+) and reservoir (CAP−/VOUT) capacitors, producing unregulated inverted output voltage linearly drooping under load.
Pin 6 (LV) enables stable oscillation below 3.5V input by grounding; Pin 7 (OSC) supports external capacitor-based frequency tuning or CMOS clock synchronization. The device lacks regulation but models as an ideal −VIN source in series with ROUT-70 Ω typ at 25°C, rising to 130 Ω at +85°C for E-suffix devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5V to +10V - supports single-supply systems from low-voltage logic up to industrial rails |
| Output Voltage | −1.5V to −10V - inverted, unregulated, linearly drooping with load current |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz nominal - fixed internal RC oscillator; adjustable via OSC pin capacitor or external clock |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 99.9% typical - high charge-transfer fidelity minimizes loss in capacitor-based inversion |
| Supply Current | 80 µA typical at V+ = 5V - ultra-low quiescent draw enables battery-powered applications |
| Output Source Resistance | 70 Ω typical at 25°C - defines output droop slope (e.g., −4.3V at −10 mA with +5V input) |
| ESD Protection | ≥3 kV HBM - robust handling for manufacturing and board-level integration |
Pinout & Package
TC7660EOA713 is housed in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package per JEDEC MS-012, 3.90 mm body width, with lead finish matte tin (Pb-free). Tape-and-reel packaging (713 suffix) supports automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No connection | Unbonded die pad - must remain floating; no PCB trace or copper pour |
| 2 (CAP+) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to high-side plate of charge-transfer capacitor; low-ESR ceramic recommended |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; star-point grounding advised |
| 4 (CAP−) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to low-side plate; polarity critical if using polarized capacitor |
| 5 (VOUT) | Negative output terminal | Delivers inverted voltage; requires low-ESR reservoir capacitor to minimize ripple |
| 6 (LV) | Low-voltage oscillator enable | Must tie to GND when V+ < 3.5V; leave open otherwise to ensure reliable startup |
| 7 (OSC) | Oscillator control input | Bypass with external capacitor to reduce frequency; accepts CMOS clock for synchronization |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.5–10V; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic near pin to suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage inversion without inductors | Eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic components; enables ultra-thin designs |
| Only two external capacitors required | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity; supports rapid prototyping and space-constrained PCBs |
| 10 kHz nominal switching frequency | Optimizes capacitor size vs. ripple trade-off; allows use of standard 10 µF electrolytics or ceramics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1044CPA+ | Pin-compatible but requires external diodes for high-voltage operation; 12 kHz oscillator; higher 120 µA I+ | Less efficient at light loads; not qualified for extended temperature range | Prefer TC7660EOA713 for industrial temp, lower I+, and diode-free operation above 5.5V |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | SOIC-8, same pinout; improved 99.9% efficiency; 60 µA I+; but only rated 0°C to +70°C (C-suffix) | Lacks extended temperature support; better for commercial-grade consumer products | Choose TC7660EOA713 when operating beyond 70°C ambient or requiring −40°C startup capability |
Compared with MAX1044CPA+ and ICL7660SIPAZ, TC7660EOA713 uniquely combines extended temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C), diode-free high-voltage operation, and industry-leading 80 µA quiescent current-making it optimal for ruggedized portable and industrial instrumentation where reliability and efficiency coexist.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for TC7660EOA713?
The TC7660EOA713 is rated for −40°C to +85°C, denoted by the "E" suffix in its part number. This extended temperature range is validated per Microchip's electrical specifications and supports deployment in industrial control panels, outdoor instrumentation, and automotive under-hood auxiliary modules where ambient extremes occur.
Does TC7660EOA713 require external diodes for operation?
No, TC7660EOA713 does not require external diodes for standard voltage-inverting operation. Unlike earlier 7660 variants, its internal switch architecture eliminates the need for external diodes-even at input voltages above 5.5V-reducing BOM count and improving reliability in RS-232 and data acquisition applications.
How does the LV pin function on TC7660EOA713?
Pin 6 (LV) on TC7660EOA713 must be connected to GND when the input voltage (V+) is below 3.5V to ensure stable oscillator startup and operation. For V+ ≥ 3.5V, the LV pin should remain unconnected (open). Incorrect LV configuration may cause erratic switching or failure to start.
Can TC7660EOA713 generate positive voltage multiplication?
Yes, TC7660EOA713 can be configured for positive voltage multiplication (e.g., +5V to +10V) using two external diodes per Figure 5-6 in the datasheet. However, this mode increases component count and reduces efficiency compared to native inverting operation; it is less commonly deployed than negative rail generation.
What package type and reel specification does TC7660EOA713 use?
TC7660EOA713 uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, 3.90 mm width) with matte tin lead finish. The "713" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-D standard, optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly with 2,500 units per reel.
