GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TC7660H is a pin-compatible, high frequency up­grade to 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 low­cost capacitors, eliminating inductors and their associated
cost, size and EMI.

The TC7660H operates at a frequency of 120kHz
(versus 10kHz for the TC7660), allowing the use of 1.0µF
external capacitors. Oscillator frequency can be reduced
(for lower supply current applications) by connecting an
external capacitor from OSC to ground.

The TC7660H is available in 8-pin DIP and small
outline (SOIC) packages in commercial and extended
temperature ranges.

Detailed Description

The TC7660H contains all the necessary circuitry to
implement a voltage inverter, with the exception of two
external capacitors, which may be inexpensive 1.0µF
non-polarized capacitors. Operation is best understood by
considering Figure 2, which shows an idealized voltage
inverter. Capacitor C1 is charged to a voltage, V+, for the half
cycle when switches S1 and S3 are closed. (Note: Switches
S2 and S4 are open during this half cycle.) During the second
half cycle of operation, switches S2 and S4 are closed, with
S1 and S3 open, thereby shifting capacitor C1 negatively by
V+ volts. Charge is then transferred from C1 to C2, such that
the voltage on C2 is exactly V+, assuming ideal switches and
no load on C2.

TC7660H

To improve low-voltage operation, the LV pin should be
connected to GND. For supply voltages greater than 3.5V,
the LV terminal must be left open to ensure latch-up-

proof operation and prevent device damage.

Theoretical Power Efficiency Considerations

In theory, a capacitative charge pump can approach
100% efficiency if certain conditions are met:

(1) The drive circuitry consumes minimal power.

(2) The output switches have extremely low ON

resistance and virtually no offset.

(3) The impedances of the pump and reservoir

capacitors are negligible at the pump frequency.

The TC7660H approaches these conditions for nega­tive voltage multiplication if large values of C1 and C2 are
used. Energy is lost only in the transfer of charge
between capacitors if a change in voltage occurs. The
energy lost is defined by:

2

E = 1/2 C1 (V

1

V1 and V2 are the voltages on C1 during the pump and
transfer cycles. If the impedances of C1 and C2 are relatively
high at the pump frequency (refer to Figure 1), compared to
the value of RL, there will be a substantial difference in
voltages V1 and V2. Therefore, it is not only desirable to
make C2 as large as possible to eliminate output voltage
ripple, but also to employ a correspondingly large value for
C1 in order to achieve maximum efficiency of operation.

Do's and Don'ts

• Do not exceed maximum supply voltages.
