Product details
Overview
TC962COE713 from Microchip Technology is a high-current CMOS charge pump DC-to-DC inverter IC capable of sourcing up to 80 mA output current, operating from 3V to 18V input, with 28 Ω typical output impedance and integrated 6.4 V Zener reference. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade to TC7662/ICL7662 in portable power rails for microprocessor-based controllers and disk drives.
For engineers reviewing the TC962COE713 datasheet, TC962COE713 pinout, TC962COE713 application, or TC962COE713 equivalent, key selection criteria include output current capability (80 mA), oscillator frequency doubling via FREQ×2 pin, on-chip Zener reference (6.4 V at 5 mA), low external component count (only two capacitors required), and SOIC-16 wide package compatibility with industrial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
Technical Context
The TC962COE713 implements a four-switch capacitive charge pump topology with internal level-shifted MOSFET drivers and a hysteresis-controlled oscillator. Its dual-frequency operation (12 kHz/24 kHz) is controlled by grounding the FREQ×2 pin, enabling reduced output ripple with smaller external capacitors.
It integrates a 6.4 V Zener diode (12 Ω dynamic impedance) on Pin 1 for external regulator reference use and eliminates the low-voltage terminal required by legacy TC7662 designs. The device achieves 97% power conversion efficiency and 99.9% voltage conversion efficiency under specified load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 80 mA max - supports higher-power analog rails and logic-level translation without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 18V - enables direct use across single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), 5 V, and 12 V systems. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 12 kHz (Pin 6 open) or 24 kHz (Pin 6 grounded) - allows trade-off between capacitor size and EMI profile. |
| Zener Reference | 6.4 V ±0.2 V at 5 mA - provides stable bias for external LDOs or feedback networks without discrete Zener. |
| Output Impedance | 28 Ω typ. at 20 mA - ensures <100 mV droop under 2 mA load, critical for precision analog supply generation. |
| Power Efficiency | 97% typ. at RL = 2 kΩ - minimizes thermal rise in space-constrained portable applications. |
| Voltage Efficiency | 99.9% typ. at no load - preserves input-to-output voltage ratio for accurate negative rail generation. |
Pinout & Package
TC962COE713 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC Wide (0.300" body width) package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin 1 is Zener cathode; Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 15 are no-connect; Pins 3 and 7 connect to external pump capacitors; Pin 5 is GND; Pin 10 is VOUT; Pin 12 is FREQ×2; Pin 14 is COSC; Pin 16 is VDD.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zener Cathode | Provides 6.4 V reference node for external regulator feedback or biasing; requires external current limiting if used as shunt reference. |
| 3 | C+ | Positive terminal of external charge pump capacitor (CP); connects to VDD during first half-cycle to charge CP. |
| 5 | GND | System ground reference for all internal circuitry and external capacitor return paths. |
| 7 | C− | Negative terminal of external charge pump capacitor (CP); polarity inversion occurs here to generate negative output. |
| 10 | VOUT | Inverted output voltage rail (e.g., −5 V from +5 V input); sourced up to 80 mA with low impedance. |
| 12 | FREQ × 2 | Grounding enables 24 kHz oscillator mode; open-circuit defaults to 12 kHz - directly controls capacitor sizing and ripple performance. |
| 14 | COSC | External timing capacitor connection to GND; adjusts oscillator frequency downward when added (e.g., 100 pF lowers fOSC by ~10%). |
| 16 | VDD | Main positive supply input; accepts 3–18 V; powers internal oscillator, logic, and switch drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for TC7662/ICL7662/SI7661 in existing layouts - no PCB revision needed. |
| Integrated Zener reference | 6.4 V ±0.2 V reference with 12 Ω dynamic impedance eliminates discrete Zener and reduces BOM count. |
| Dual-frequency oscillator | Selectable 12 kHz / 24 kHz operation via FREQ×2 pin - enables optimization of capacitor size vs. EMI vs. ripple. |
| No external diodes required | On-chip CMOS switches replace external diodes - improves efficiency, reduces footprint, and eliminates forward voltage drop loss. |
| High output current capability | 80 mA continuous sourcing - supports higher-load analog circuits (e.g., op-amp rails, ADC references) without external buffering. |
Applications
| Laptop Power Management | Disk Drive Bias Generation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current charge pump inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC7662CPA | Lower output current (20 mA), no integrated Zener, requires external diodes, 8-pin DIP only. | Limited to low-power analog rails; unsuitable for >20 mA loads or Zener-referenced regulators. | Select TC7662CPA only for cost-sensitive, low-current legacy designs where PCB layout cannot accommodate SOIC-16. |
| LTC1044CS8#PBF | 20 mA output, no Zener, 8-pin SOIC, requires external diodes, lower efficiency (92% typ.), no FREQ×2 option. | Not suitable for Zener-referenced regulation or high-current loads; lacks frequency doubling for capacitor optimization. | Choose LTC1044CS8#PBF only if pin compatibility with older LTC1044-based designs is mandatory and load current remains ≤20 mA. |
Compared with TC7662CPA and LTC1044CS8#PBF, TC962COE713 delivers 4× higher output current, eliminates external diodes, integrates a precision Zener reference, and offers selectable oscillator frequency - making it the sole option among the three capable of supporting 80 mA loads with on-chip reference functionality in a surface-mount package.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for TC962COE713?
The TC962COE713 is rated for a maximum continuous output current of 80 mA under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ +70°C). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on DS21484D-page 3, where RO (output source resistance) is characterized at IL = 80 mA, VDD = 15 V. Exceeding this current may cause thermal shutdown or output voltage droop beyond specifications.
Does TC962COE713 require external diodes for operation?
No, TC962COE713 does not require external diodes. As stated in the Features section on DS21484D-page 1, it uses internal CMOS switches to implement the charge pump function. The functional block diagram on page 2 confirms four internal MOSFET switches (P SW1, N SW2, N SW3, N SW4) replace discrete diodes, eliminating forward voltage drop and improving efficiency.
How is the oscillator frequency configured on TC962COE713?
The oscillator frequency of TC962COE713 is configured using two pins: Pin 12 (FREQ×2) and Pin 14 (COSC). Grounding Pin 12 doubles the base frequency from 12 kHz to 24 kHz. Connecting a capacitor from Pin 14 to GND lowers the oscillator frequency - e.g., a 100 pF capacitor reduces fOSC by approximately 10%, per Figure 4-2 on DS21484D-page 6.
What is the purpose of Pin 1 (Zener Cathode) on TC962COE713?
Pin 1 on TC962COE713 is the cathode of an integrated 6.4 V Zener diode (VZ = 6.0–6.4 V at IZ = 5 mA, ZZT = 12 Ω), intended for use as a precision voltage reference in external regulator circuits. As described in Section 3.0 and Table 2-1, it provides a stable bias point for building low-noise LDOs or feedback networks without adding discrete Zener components.
Is TC962COE713 pin-compatible with TC7662CPA?
TC962COE713 is pin-compatible with TC7662CPA only in functional role-not physical layout. While both share identical pin functions (e.g., Pin 1 = Zener Cathode / Test Pin, Pin 2 = C+, Pin 3 = GND), TC962COE713 uses a 16-pin SOIC package whereas TC7662CPA uses an 8-pin DIP. Direct socket replacement is not possible; however, the TC962COE713 maintains logical pin mapping for design migration with PCB redesign.
