GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC7660 is a pin-compatible replacement for the
Industry standard TC7660 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 EMI.
IN
The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal frequency of 10kHz. Operation below 10kHz (for lower supply
current applications) is possible by connecting an external
capacitor from OSC to ground (with pin 1 open).
The TC7660 is available in both 8-pin DIP and 8-pin
SOIC packages in commercial and extended temperature
ranges.

*Static-sensitive device. Unused devices must be stored in conductive
material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields. Stresses
above 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 above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods
may affect device reliability.
