Product details
Overview
TL7660IP from Texas Instruments is a CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter that generates a regulated negative output voltage (–VCC) from a positive input supply (1.5 V to 10 V), operates over –40°C to +125°C, achieves 99.9% open-circuit voltage conversion efficiency, requires only two noncritical external capacitors, and is used in portable instrumentation requiring rail-splitting or dual-supply generation.
For engineers reviewing the TL7660IP datasheet, TL7660IP pinout, TL7660IP application, or TL7660IP equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated thermal and electrical specs across full temperature range, confirmed PDIP-8 package mapping, and real-world design guidance for negative voltage conversion and voltage doubling configurations.
Technical Context
The TL7660IP integrates an RC oscillator (nominal 10 kHz at VCC = 5 V), four power MOS switches (1 p-channel, 3 n-channel), a voltage-level translator, and latch-up protection logic that dynamically biases substrates of S3/S4 based on VOUT sensing. Its internal linear regulator is bypassed via LV pin when VCC < 3.5 V to maintain operation down to 1.5 V.
Oscillator frequency is adjustable externally via capacitor on OSC pin or overdriven by external clock (with 1-kΩ series resistor); pump frequency equals half the oscillator frequency. Output impedance is dominated by switch RON, capacitor ESR, and fPUMPC1 term, with typical ROUT = 135 Ω at 20 mA and VCC = 5 V over full temperature range.

| Output Voltage | –VCC (±0.1 V) - provides precise complementary negative rail for op-amp biasing or ADC reference splitting |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10 kHz nominal (VCC = 5 V) - sets charge-pump timing; adjustable down to ~1 kHz or up via external clock |
| Power Efficiency | 98% typical (RL = 5 kΩ) - minimizes heat rise in sealed portable enclosures |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 99.9% typical (open-circuit) - preserves input voltage headroom in low-power sensor nodes |

Pinout & Package
TL7660IP uses an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner when notch faces upward; leads are tin-lead (NIPDAU) finish, RoHS-compliant, MSL-unrated (non-moisture-sensitive).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pad - must remain unconnected; no routing or grounding required |
| 2 (CAP+) | Positive pump capacitor terminal | Connects to positive lead of C1 (polarized electrolytic); critical for charge transfer cycle |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for all internal circuitry and external capacitors |
| 4 (CAP−) | Negative pump capacitor terminal | Connects to negative lead of C1; forms flying capacitor node with CAP+ |
| 5 (VOUT) | Negative output voltage | Delivers –VCC output; must not exceed GND potential to avoid latchup |
| 6 (OSC) | Oscillator control | Accepts external capacitor for frequency reduction or TTL/CMOS clock for frequency increase |
| 7 (LV) | Low-voltage mode enable | Tie to GND for VCC < 3.5 V; leave floating for VCC ≥ 3.5 V to prevent latchup |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive input supply | Primary power input; absolute max 10.5 V; reverse polarity protection not integrated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external diodes required | Eliminates discrete diode selection, layout space, and forward-voltage drop losses across –40°C to +125°C |
| Dynamic substrate biasing | Prevents latchup during startup and short-circuit events by actively adjusting S3/S4 substrate potentials |
| LV pin-controlled regulator bypass | Enables reliable 1.5-V operation by disabling internal series regulator below 3.5 V |
| Adjustable oscillator | Supports noise-sensitive applications (low-freq) or high-current loads (overdriven clock) without changing IC |
| Paralleling capability | Multiple TL7660IP units can share one reservoir capacitor (C2) to halve effective output resistance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1044CPA+ | Same 8-pin PDIP package; fixed 10 kHz oscillator; no LV pin; max VCC = 6 V | Limited to ≤6 V inputs; lacks low-voltage bypass mode; not rated beyond +85°C | Select when operating strictly within 2–6 V range and ambient ≤85°C; lower cost but reduced flexibility |
| ICL7660SIPAZ | Pin-compatible upgrade; improved 125°C rating; 99.5% efficiency; integrated ESD protection | Direct replacement for TL7660IP in new designs; same footprint and pinout; higher reliability margin | Preferred for new designs requiring extended temperature compliance and enhanced robustness without layout change |
Compared with MAX1044CPA+, TL7660IP supports wider input (1.5–10 V) and full automotive temperature range; compared with ICL7660SIPAZ, TL7660IP offers identical functionality at lower cost but without upgraded ESD or tighter efficiency tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TL7660IP can handle?
The TL7660IP has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of 10.5 V. The recommended operating range is 1.5 V to 10 V. Exceeding 10.5 V risks permanent damage. At 10 V input, TL7660IP delivers –10 V output with 95% power efficiency across –40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for 9-V battery or regulated 10-V industrial rails.
Can the TL7660IP be used to generate a positive doubled voltage?
Yes, the TL7660IP can be configured as a positive voltage doubler using external diodes D1 and D2 with pump/reservoir capacitors. In this mode, VOUT ≈ (2 × VCC) – (2 × VF), where VF is diode forward voltage. The TL7660IP's internal switches drive the pump action; no modification to the IC is needed-only external component reconfiguration per Figure 9 in the datasheet.
How does the LV pin affect TL7660IP operation below 3.5 V?
When VCC < 3.5 V, the LV pin must be tied to GND to disable the internal linear regulator, allowing TL7660IP to operate down to 1.5 V. Leaving LV floating under low-voltage conditions causes latchup and device failure. This configuration reduces dropout loss and enables use with single LiFePO4 cells (2.5–3.6 V) or two alkaline cells (2.0–3.2 V).
Is the TL7660IP pin-compatible with other 8-pin voltage converters?
The TL7660IP shares the same PDIP-8 pinout (D package) with legacy ICL7660 and MAX1044 devices, including identical CAP+, GND, CAP−, VCC, OSC, LV, VOUT, and NC assignments. However, functional differences exist: MAX1044 lacks LV pin control, and ICL7660S offers enhanced specs. Always verify oscillator behavior and thermal ratings before substitution.
What external components are mandatory for basic TL7660IP operation?
Two external polarized electrolytic capacitors are mandatory: C1 (10 µF, connected between CAP+ and CAP− pins) serves as the flying pump capacitor, and C2 (10 µF, connected between VOUT and GND) acts as the output reservoir. No diodes, inductors, or regulators are required. For noise-sensitive applications, a 100-pF capacitor on OSC pin or external clock driver may be added-but is not mandatory for baseline operation.
