Super Voltage Converter
Features
The ICL7660S Super Voltage Converter is a monolithic
CMOS voltage conversion IC that guarantees significant
performance advantages over other similar devices. It is a
direct replacement for the industry standard ICL7660 offering
an extended operating supply voltage range up to 12V, with
lower supply current. No external diode is needed for the
ICL7660S. In addition, a Frequency Boost pin has been
incorporated to enable the user to achieve lower output
impedance despite using smaller capacitors. All
improvements are highlighted in the Electrical Specifications
section. Critical parameters are guaranteed over the entire
commercial, industrial and military temperature ranges.
• Guaranteed Lower Max Supply Current for All
Temperature Ranges
The ICL7660S performs supply voltage conversion from
positive to negative for an input range of 1.5V to 12V,
resulting in complementary output voltages of -1.5V to -12V.
Only 2 non-critical external capacitors are needed for the
charge pump and charge reservoir functions. The ICL7660S
can be connected to function as a voltage doubler and will
generate up to 22.8V with a 12V input. It can also be used as
a voltage multiplier or voltage divider.
• Simple Conversion of +5V Logic Supply to ±5V Supplies
The chip contains a series DC power supply regulator, RC
oscillator, voltage level translator, and four output power
MOS switches. The oscillator, when unloaded, oscillates at a
nominal frequency of 10kHz for an input supply voltage of
5.0V. This frequency can be lowered by the addition of an
external capacitor to the “OSC” terminal, or the oscillator
may be over-driven by an external clock.
The “LV” terminal may be tied to GND to bypass the internal
series regulator and improve low voltage (LV) operation. At
medium to high voltages (3.5V to 12V), the LV pin is left
floating to prevent device latchup.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range 1.5V to 12V
• 100% Tested at 3V
• No External Diode Over Full Temperature and Voltage
Range
• Boost Pin (Pin 1) for Higher Switching Frequency

NOTE:
9. These curves include in the supply current that current fed directly into the load RL from the V+ (See Figure 12). Thus, approximately half the
supply current goes directly to the positive side of the load, and the other half, through the ICL7660S, to the negative side of the load. Ideally,
VOUT ∼ 2VIN, IS ∼ 2IL, so VIN x IS ∼ VOUT x IL.
Detailed Description
The ICL7660S contains all the necessary circuitry to
complete a negative voltage converter, with the exception of
2 external capacitors which may be inexpensive 10µF
polarized electrolytic types. The mode of operation of the
device may be best understood by considering Figure 13,
which shows an idealized negative voltage converter.
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 to C2 such
that the voltage on C2 is exactly V+, assuming ideal switches
and no load on C2. The ICL7660S approaches this ideal
situation more closely than existing non-mechanical circuits.

approach is that in integrating the switches, the substrates of
S3 and S4 must always remain reverse biased with respect
to their sources, but not so much as to degrade their “ON”
resistances. In addition, at circuit start up, and under output
short circuit conditions (VOUT = V+), the output voltage must
be sensed and the substrate bias adjusted accordingly.
Failure to accomplish this would result in high power losses
and probable device latchup.
This problem is eliminated in the ICL7660S by a logic network
which senses the output voltage (VOUT) together with the
level translators, and switches the substrates of S3 and S4 to
the correct level to maintain necessary reverse bias.
The voltage regulator portion of the ICL7660S is an integral
part of the anti-latchup circuitry, however its inherent voltage
drop can degrade operation at low voltages. Therefore, to
improve low voltage operation “LV” pin should be connected
to GND, disabling the regulator. For supply voltages greater
than 3.5V the LV terminal must be left open to insure latchup
proof operation, and prevent device damage.
Theoretical Power Efficiency
Considerations
In theory a voltage converter can approach 100% efficiency
if certain conditions are met:
1. The drive circuitry consumes minimal power.
NOTE: For large values of COSC (>1000pF) the values of C1 and C2
should be increased to 100µF.
FIGURE 12. ICL7660S TEST CIRCUIT
In the ICL7660S, the 4 switches of Figure 13 are MOS
power switches; S1 is a P-Channel devices and S2, S3 and
S4 are N-Channel devices. The main difficulty with this
6
2. The output switches have extremely low ON resistance
and virtually no offset.
3. The impedance of the pump and reservoir capacitors are
negligible at the pump frequency.
FN3179.4
September 6, 2005
ICL7660S
The ICL7660S approaches these conditions for negative
voltage conversion 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:
E = 1/2C1 (V12 - V22)
where 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 13)
compared to the value of RL, there will be substantial
difference in the 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.

Typical Applications
Simple Negative Voltage Converter
The majority of applications will undoubtedly utilize the
ICL7660S for generation of negative supply voltages. Figure
14 shows typical connections to provide a negative supply
where a positive supply of +1.5V to +12V is available. Keep
in mind that pin 6 (LV) is tied to the supply negative (GND)
for supply voltage below 3.5V.

Do’s and Don’ts
1. Do not exceed maximum supply voltages.
2. Do not connect LV terminal to GND for supply voltage
greater than 3.5V.
3. Do not short circuit the output to V+ supply for supply
voltages above 5.5V for extended periods, however,
transient conditions including start-up are okay.
4. When using polarized capacitors, the + terminal of C1
must be connected to pin 2 of the ICL7660S and the +
terminal of C2 must be connected to GND.
5. If the voltage supply driving the ICL7660S has a large
source impedance (25Ω - 30Ω), then a 2.2µF capacitor
from pin 8 to ground may be required to limit rate of rise
of input voltage to less than 2V/µs.
6. User should insure that the output (pin 5) does not go
more positive than GND (pin 3). Device latch up will occur
under these conditions.
A 1N914 or similar diode placed in parallel with C2 will
prevent the device from latching up under these
conditions. (Anode pin 5, Cathode pin 3).
7
The output characteristics of the circuit in Figure 14 can be
approximated by an ideal voltage source in series with a
resistance as shown in Figure 14B. The voltage source has
a value of -(V+). The output impedance (RO) is a function of
the ON resistance of the internal MOS switches (shown in
Figure 13), the switching frequency, the value of C1 and C2,
and the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of C1 and C2. A
good first order approximation for RO is:
RO ≅ 2(RSW1 + RSW3 + ESRC1) + 2(RSW2 + RSW4 + ESRC1)
+
1
fPUMP x
C1
(fPUMP =
+ ESRC2

, RSWX = MOSFET switch resistance)
Combining the four RSWX terms as RSW, we see that:
1
RO ≅ 2 x RSW +
fPUMP x
C1
+ 4 x ESRC1 + ESRC2Ω
RSW, the total switch resistance, is a function of supply
voltage and temperature (See the Output Source Resistance
graphs), typically 23Ω at 25°C and 5V. Careful selection of C1
and C2 will reduce the remaining terms, minimizing the output
impedance. High value capacitors will reduce the 1/(fPUMP x
C1) component, and low ESR capacitors will lower the ESR
term. Increasing the oscillator frequency will reduce the
1/(fPUMP x C1) term, but may have the side effect of a net
FN3179.4

ICL7660S
increase in output impedance when C1 > 10µF and is not long
enough to fully charge the capacitors every cycle. In a typical
application where fOSC = 10kHz and C = C1 = C2 = 10µF:
RO ≅ 2 x 23 +
1
(5 x 103 x 10 x 10-6)
+ 4 x ESRC1 +
ESRC2
RO ≅ 46 + 20 + 5 x ESRCΩ
Since the ESRs of the capacitors are reflected in the output
impedance multiplied by a factor of 5, a high value could
potentially swamp out a low 1/fPUMP x C1) term, rendering
an increase in switching frequency or filter capacitance
ineffective. Typical electrolytic capacitors may have ESRs as
high as 10Ω.
Output Ripple
ESR also affects the ripple voltage seen at the output. The
total ripple is determined by 2 voltages, A and B, as shown in
Figure 15. Segment A is the voltage drop across the ESR of
C2 at the instant it goes from being charged by C1 (current
flowing into C2) to being discharged through the load
(current flowing out of C2). The magnitude of this current
change is 2 x IOUT, hence the total drop is 2 x IOUT x
ESRC2V. Segment B is the voltage change across C2 during
time t2, the half of the cycle when C2 supplies current the
load. The drop at B is IOUT x t2/C2V. The peak-to-peak ripple
voltage is the sum of these voltage drops:
V
Changing the ICL7660S Oscillator Frequency
It may be desirable in some applications, due to noise or other
considerations, to alter the oscillator frequency. This can be
achieved simply by one of several methods described below.
By connecting the Boost Pin (Pin 1) to V+, the oscillator
charge and discharge current is increased and, hence, the
oscillator frequency is increased by approximately 31/2
times. The result is a decrease in the output impedance and
ripple. This is of major importance for surface mount
applications where capacitor size and cost are critical.
Smaller capacitors, e.g. 0.1µF, can be used in conjunction
with the Boost Pin in order to achieve similar output currents
compared to the device free running with C1 = C2 = 10µF or
100µF. (Refer to graph of Output Source Resistance as a
Function of Oscillator Frequency).
Increasing the oscillator frequency can also be achieved by
overdriving the oscillator from an external clock, as shown in
Figure 18. In order to prevent device latchup, a 1kΩ resistor
must be used in series with the clock output. In a situation
where the designer has generated the external clock
frequency using TTL logic, the addition of a 10kΩ pullup
resistor to V+ supply is required. Note that the pump

will be 1/2 of the clock frequency. Output transitions occur on
the positive going edge of the clock.

Again, a low ESR capacitor will result in a higher
performance output.
Any number of ICL7660S voltage converters may be
paralleled to reduce output resistance. The reservoir
capacitor, C2, serves all devices while each device requires
its own pump capacitor, C1. The resultant output resistance
would be approximately:
ROUT =
ROUT (of ICL7660S)
n (number of devices)
Cascading Devices
The ICL7660S may be cascaded as shown to produce larger
negative multiplication of the initial supply voltage. However,
due to the finite efficiency of each device, the practical limit is
10 devices for light loads. The output voltage is defined by:
VOUT = -n(VIN),
where n is an integer representing the number of devices
cascaded. The resulting output resistance would be
approximately the weighted sum of the individual ICL7660S
ROUT values.

It is also possible to increase the conversion efficiency of the
ICL7660S at low load levels by lowering the oscillator
frequency. This reduces the switching losses, and is shown
in Figure 19. However, lowering the oscillator frequency will
cause an undesirable increase in the impedance of the
pump (C1) and reservoir (C2) capacitors; this is overcome by
increasing the values of C1 and C2 by the same factor that
the frequency has been reduced. For example, the addition
of a 100pF capacitor between pin 7 (OSC and V+ will lower
the oscillator frequency to 1kHz from its nominal frequency
of 10kHz (a multiple of 10), and thereby necessitate
corresponding increase in the value of C1 and C2 (from
10µF to 100µF).

Positive Voltage Doubling
The ICL7660S may be employed to achieve positive voltage
doubling using the circuit shown in Figure 20. In this
application, the pump inverter switches of the ICL7660S are
used to charge C1 to a voltage level of V+ -VF (where V+ is
the supply voltage and VF is the forward voltage on C1 plus
the supply voltage (V+) is applied through diode D2 to
capacitor C2. The voltage thus created on C2 becomes
(2V+) - (2VF) or twice the supply voltage minus the
combined forward voltage drops of diodes D1 and D2.
The source impedance of the output (VOUT) will depend on
the output current, but for V+ = 5V and an output current of
10mA it will be approximately 60Ω.

Voltage Splitting
The bidirectional characteristics can also be used to split a
high supply in half, as shown in Figure 22. The combined
load will be evenly shared between the two sides, and a high
value resistor to the LV pin ensures start-up. Because the
switches share the load in parallel, the output impedance is
much lower than in the standard circuits, and higher currents
can be drawn from the device. By using this circuit, and then
the circuit of Figure 17, +15V can be converted (via +7.5,
and -7.5 to a nominal -15V, although with rather high series
output resistance (∼250Ω).

FIGURE 19. SPLITTING A SUPPLY IN HALF
Combined Negative Voltage Conversion and
Positive Supply Doubling
Figure 21 combines the functions shown in Figure 14 and
Figure 20 to provide negative voltage conversion and
positive voltage doubling simultaneously. This approach
would be, for example, suitable for generating +9V and -5V
from an existing +5V supply. In this instance capacitors C1
and C3 perform the pump and reservoir functions
respectively for the generation of the negative voltage, while
capacitors C2 and C4 are pump and reservoir respectively
for the doubled positive voltage. There is a penalty in this
configuration which combines both functions, however, in
that the source impedances of the generated supplies will be
somewhat higher due to the finite impedance of the common
charge pump driver at pin 2 of the device.

Regulated Negative Voltage Supply
In Some cases, the output impedance of the ICL7660S can
be a problem, particularly if the load current varies
substantially. The circuit of Figure 23 can be used to
overcome this by controlling the input voltage, via an
ICL7611 low-power CMOS op amp, in such a way as to
maintain a nearly constant output voltage. Direct feedback is
inadvisable, since the ICL7660S’s output does not respond
instantaneously to change in input, but only after the
switching delay. The circuit shown supplies enough delay to
accommodate the ICL7660S, while maintaining adequate
feedback. An increase in pump and storage capacitors is
desirable, and the values shown provides an output
impedance of less than 5Ω to a load of 10mA.
