LM2660/LM2661
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
LM2660/LM2661 Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
September 1999
General Description
The LM2660/LM2661 CMOS charge-pump voltage converter inverts a positive voltage in the range of 1.5V to 5.5V
to thecorresponding negative voltage. The LM2660/LM2661
uses two low cost capacitors to provide 100 mA of output
current without the cost, size, and EMI related to inductor
based converters. With an operating current of only 120 µA
and operating efficiency greater than 90%at most loads, the
LM2660/LM2661 provides ideal performance for battery
powered systems. The LM2660/LM2661 may also be used
as a positive voltage doubler.
The oscillator frequency can be lowered by adding an external capacitor to the OSC pin.Also, the OSC pin may be used
to drive the LM2660/LM2661 with an external clock. For
LM2660, a frequency control (FC) pin selects the oscillator
frequency of 10 kHz or 80 kHz. For LM2661, an external
shutdown (SD) pin replaces the FC pin. The SD pin can be
used to disable the device and reduce the quiescent current
to 0.5 µA. The oscillator frequency for the LM2661 is 80 kHz.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device
beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: OUT may be shorted to GND for one second without damage. However, 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+, or device may be damaged.
