General Description
The TC7660 is a pin-compatible replacement for the
industry standard 7660 charge pump voltage
converter. It converts a +1.5V to +10V input to a
corresponding -1.5V to -10V output using only two low
cost capacitors, eliminating inductors and their
associated cost, size and electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal
frequency of 10 kHz. Operation below 10 kHz (for
lower supply current applications) is possible by
connecting an external capacitor from OSC to ground.
The TC7660 is available in 8-Pin PDIP, 8-Pin Small
Outline (SOIC) and 8-Pin CERDIP packages in
commercial and extended temperature ranges.

3.1Charge Pump Capacitor (CAP+)
Positive connection for the charge pump capacitor, or
flying capacitor, used to transfer charge from the input
source to the output. In the voltage-inverting configuration, the charge pump capacitor is charged to the input
voltage during the first half of the switching cycle. During the second half of the switching cycle, the charge
pump capacitor is inverted and charge is transferred to
the output capacitor and load.
It is recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series
resistance) capacitor be used. Additionally, larger
values will lower the output resistance.
3.2Ground (GND)
Input and output zero volt reference.
3.3Charge Pump Capacitor (CAP-)
Negative connection for the charge pump capacitor, or
flying capacitor, used to transfer charge from the input
to the output. Proper orientation is imperative when
using a polarized capacitor.
3.4Output Voltage (V
Negative connection for the charge pump output
capacitor. In the voltage-inverting configuration, the
charge pump output capacitor supplies the output load
during the first half of the switching cycle. During the
second half of the switching cycle, charge is restored to
the charge pump output capacitor.
It is recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series
resistance) capacitor be used. Additionally, larger
values will lower the output ripple.

3.5Low Voltage Pin (LV)
The low voltage pin ensures proper operation of the
internal oscillator for input voltages below 3.5V. The low
voltage pin should be connected to ground (GND) for
input voltages below 3.5V. Otherwise, the low voltage
pin should be allowed to float.
3.6Oscillator Control Input (OSC)
The oscillator control input can be utilized to slow down
or speed up the operation of the TC7660. Refer to
Section 5.4, “Changing the TC7660 Oscillator
Frequency”, for details on altering the oscillator
frequency.
3.7Power Supply (V+)
Positive power supply input voltage connection. It is
recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitor be used to bypass the power supply
input to ground (GND).

4.0DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1Theory of Operation
The TC7660 charge pump converter inverts the voltage
applied to the V
phase operation (Figure 4-1). During the first phase,
switches S
are closed. C1 charges to the voltage applied to the V
pin, with the load current being supplied from C2. During the second phase, switches S

In this manner, the TC7660 performs a voltage inversion, but does not provide regulation. The average output voltage will drop in a linear manner with respect to
load current. The equivalent circuit of the charge pump
inverter can be modeled as an ideal voltage source in
series with a resistor, as shown in Figure 4-2.

4.2Switched Capacitor Inverter
Power Losses
The overall power loss of a switched capacitor inverter
is affected by four factors:
1.Losses from power consumed by the internal
oscillator, switch drive, etc. These losses will
vary with input voltage, temperature and
oscillator frequency.
2.Conduction losses in the non-ideal switches.
3.Losses due to the non-ideal nature of the
external capacitors.
4.Losses that occur during charge transfer from
C
to C2 when a voltage difference between the
1
capacitors exists.
Figure 4-3 depicts the non-ideal elements associated
with the switched capacitor inverter power loss.

5.0APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
5.1Simple Negative Voltage
Converter
Figure 5-1 shows typical connections to provide a
negative supply where a positive supply is available. A
similar scheme may be employed for supply voltages
anywhere in the operating range of +1.5V to +10V,
keeping in mind that pin 6 (LV) is tied to the supply
negative (GND) only for supply voltages below 3.5V.

The output characteristics of the circuit in Figure 5-1
are those of a nearly ideal voltage source in series with

5.2Paralleling Devices
To reduce the value of R
converters can be connected in parallel (Figure 5-2).
The output resistance will be reduced by approximately
a factor of n, where n is the number of devices
connected in parallel.
EQUATION
R
=
OUT
While each device requires its own pump capacitor
(C
), all devices may share one reservoir capacitor
1
(C
). To preserve ripple performance, the value of C
2
should be scaled according to the number of devices
connected in parallel.
A larger negative multiplication of the initial supply voltage can be obtained by cascading multiple TC7660
devices. The output voltage and the output resistance
will both increase by approximately a factor of n, where
n is the number of devices cascaded.

5.4Changing the TC7660 Oscillator
Frequency
The operating frequency of the TC7660 can be
changed in order to optimize the system performance.
The frequency can be increased by over-driving the
OSC input (Figure 5-4). Any CMOS logic gate can be
utilized in conjunction with a 1 kΩ series resistor. The
resistor is required to prevent device latch-up. While
TTL level signals can be utilized, an additional 10 kΩ
pull-up resistor to V
the rising edge of the clock input. The resultant output
voltage ripple frequency is one half the clock input.
Higher clock frequencies allow for the use of smaller
pump and reservoir capacitors for a given output voltage ripple and droop. Additionally, this allows the
TC7660 to be synchronized to an external clock, eliminating undesirable beat frequencies.
At light loads, lowering the oscillator frequency can
increase the efficiency of the TC7660 (Figure 5-5). By
lowering the oscillator frequency, the switching losses
are reduced. Refer to Figure 2-3 to determine the typical operating frequency based on the value of the
external capacitor. At lower operating frequencies, it
may be necessary to increase the values of the pump
and reservoir capacitors in order to maintain the
desired output voltage ripple and output impedance.

5.7Efficient Positive Voltage
Multiplication/Conversion
Since the switches that allow the charge pumping
operation are bidirectional, the charge transfer can be
performed backwards as easily as forwards.
Figure 5-8 shows a TC7660 transforming -5V to +5V
(or +5V to +10V, etc.). The only problem here is that the
internal clock and switch-drive section will not operate
until some positive voltage has been generated. An initial inefficient pump, as shown in Figure 5-7, could be
used to start this circuit up, after which it will bypass the
other (D
