ILC6660IK 8-pin SOIC
The ILC6660 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 ILC6660 can also double or split the output voltage of an input powered supply or
battery, providing +9.5V or +2.3V at 100mA from a +5V input.
A frequency control (FC) pin selects either 5kHz typ or 50kHz
typ (30kHz min) operation to optimize capacitor size and quiescent current. The Oscillator frequency can also be driven
with an external clock. The ILC6660 is available in both 8-pin
DIP and small-outline packages in commercial and extended
temperature ranges.
