CMOS Monolithic Voltage Converter

_______________General Description
The MAX660 monolithic, charge-pump voltage inverter
converts a +1.5V to +5.5V input to a corresponding
-1.5V to -5.5V output. Using only two low-cost
capacitors, the charge pump’s 100mA output replaces
switching regulators, eliminating inductors and their
associated cost, size, and EMI. Greater than 90%
efficiency over most of its load-current range combined
with a typical operating current of only 120µA provides
ideal performance for both battery-powered and board-
level voltage conversion applications. The MAX660 can
also double the output voltage of an input power supply
or battery, providing +9.35V at 100mA from a +5V
input.
A frequency control (FC) pin selects either 10kHz typ or
80kHz typ (40kHz min) operation to optimize capacitor
size and quiescent current. The oscillator frequency
can also be adjusted with an external capacitor or
driven with an external clock. The MAX660 is a pin-
compatible, high-current upgrade of the ICL7660.
The MAX660 is available in both 8-pin DIP and small-
outline packages in commercial, extended, and military
temperature ranges.
For 50mA applications, consider the MAX860/MAX861
pin-compatible devices (also available in ultra-small
µMAX packages).

, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 2)
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Note 2: In the test circuit, capacitors C1 and C2 are 150µF, 0.2maximum ESR, aluminum electrolytics.
Capacitors with higher ESR may reduce output voltage and efficiency. See Capacitor Selection section.
Note 3: Specified output resistance is a combination of internal switch resistance and capacitor ESR. See Capacitor Selection section.
Note 4: The ESR of C1 = C2 0.5Ω. Guaranteed by correlation, not production tested.
Note 1: OUT may be shorted to GND for 1sec without damage, but shorting OUT to V+ may damage the device and should be
avoided. Also, for temperatures above +85°C, OUT must not be shorted to GND or V+, even instantaneously, or device
damage may result.

Figure 1. MAX660 Test Circuit
All curves are generated using the test circuit of Figure 1
with V+ =5V, LV = GND, FC = open, and T
A
= +25°C,
unless otherwise noted. The charge-pump frequency is
one-half the oscillator frequency. Test results are also
valid for doubler mode with GND = +5V, LV = OUT, and
OUT = 0V, unless otherwise noted; however, the input
voltage is restricted to +2.5V to +5.5V.
