Super Voltage Converters
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A Super Voltage Converters are
monolithic CMOS voltage conversion ICs that guarantee
significant performance advantages over other similar
devices. They are direct replacements for the industry
standard ICL7660 offering an extended operating supply
voltage range up to 12V, with lower supply current. 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 on page 3. Critical parameters are
guaranteed over the entire commercial and industrial
temperature ranges.
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A perform supply voltage
conversions from positive to negative for an input range of
1.5V to 12V, resulting in complementary output voltages of
-1.5V to -12V. Only two non-critical external capacitors are
needed, for the charge pump and charge reservoir functions.
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A can be connected to function
as a voltage doubler and will generate up to 22.8V with a
12V input. They can also be used as a voltage multipliers or
voltage dividers.
Each 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.

ICL7660S, ICL7660A
Detailed Description
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A contain all the necessary
circuitry to complete a negative voltage converter, with the
exception of two external capacitors, which may be
inexpensive 10µF polarized electrolytic types. The mode of
operation of the device may best be understood by
considering Figure 14, 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
and ICL7660A approach this ideal situation more closely
than existing non-mechanical circuits.

FIGURE 14. IDEALIZED NEGATIVE VOLTAGE CONVERTER
In the ICL7660S and ICL7660A, the four switches of
Figure 14 are MOS power switches; S1 is a P-Channel
device; and S2, S3 and S4 are N-Channel devices. The main
difficulty with this 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 startup, 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 latch-up.
This problem is eliminated in the ICL7660S and ICL7660A by
a logic network that 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 and
ICL7660A 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,
the “LV” pin should be connected to GND, thus disabling the
regulator. For supply voltages greater than 3.5V, the LV
terminal must be left open to ensure latchup-proof operation
and to prevent device damage.

In theory, a voltage converter 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 impedance of the pump and reservoir capacitors are
negligible at the pump frequency.
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A approach 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 as shown in
Equation 1:

E = --- C 1  V 1 2 – V 2 2 

Theoretical Power Efficiency
Considerations
(EQ. 1)
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 (see Figure 14)
compared to the value of RL, there will be a 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.
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 ICL7660A, and
the + terminal of C2 must be connected to GND.
5. If the voltage supply driving the ICL7660S and ICL7660A
has a large source impedance (25 to 30), then a
2.2µF capacitor from pin 8 to ground may be required to
limit the rate of rise of input voltage to less than 2V/µs.
6. If the input voltage is higher than 5V and it has a rise rate
more than 2V/µs, an external Schottky diode from VOUT
to CAP- is needed to prevent latchup (triggered by
forward biasing Q4’s body diode) by keeping the output
(pin 5) from going more positive than CAP- (pin 4).
7. User should ensure that the output (pin 5) does not go
more positive than GND (pin 3). Device latch-up will
occur under these conditions. To provide additional
protection, a 1N914 or similar diode placed in parallel
with C2 will prevent the device from latching up under
these conditions, when the load on VOUT creates a path
to pull up VOUT before the IC is active (anode pin 5,
cathode pin 3).

application where fOSC = 10kHz and C = C1 = C2 = 10µF:
Typical Applications
Simple Negative Voltage Converter
The majority of applications will undoubtedly utilize the
ICL7660S and ICL7660A for generation of negative supply
voltages. Figure 15 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.

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 10.

Paralleling Devices
The output characteristics of the circuit in Figure 15 can be
approximated by an ideal voltage source in series with a
resistance as shown in Figure 15B. 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 14), 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 shown in
Equation 2:
Any number of ICL7660S and ICL7660A 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
is approximated in Equation 6:
R 0  2   R SW1 + R SW3 + ESR C1  + 2  R SW2 + R SW4 + ESR C1  
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A 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 as shown in Equation 7:

-------------------------------- + ESR C2

(EQ. 2)
 R SWX = MOSFET Switch Resistance 
Combining the four RSWX terms as RSW, we see in
Equation 3 that:
1
R 0  2xR SW + -------------------------------- + 4xESR C1 + ESR C2
f PUMP  C 1
(EQ. 3)
RSW, the total switch resistance, is a function of supply
voltage and temperature (see the output source resistance
graphs, Figures 2, 3, and 11), typically 23 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 increase in output
impedance when C1 > 10µF and is not long enough to fully

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
and ICL7660A ROUT values.
Changing the ICL7660S and ICL7660A 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.
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 3.5 times.
The result is a decrease in the output impedance and ripple.
Page 9 of 13
ICL7660S, ICL7660A
This is of major importance for surface mount applications
where capacitor size and cost are critical. Smaller
capacitors, such as 0.1µF, can be used in conjunction with
the Boost Pin to achieve similar output currents compared to
the device free running with C1 = C2 = 10µF or 100µF. (see
Figure 11).
Increasing the oscillator frequency can also be achieved by
overdriving the oscillator from an external clock, as shown in
Figure 16. In order to prevent device latchup, a 1k 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 10k pull-up
resistor to V+ supply is required. Note that the pump
frequency with external clocking, as with internal clocking,
will be one-half of the clock frequency. Output transitions
occur on the positive going edge of the clock.
V+
Positive Voltage Doubling
The ICL7660S and ICL7660A may be employed to achieve
positive voltage doubling using the circuit shown in Figure
18. In this application, the pump inverter switches of the
ICL7660S and ICL7660A 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 60.

FIGURE 18. POSITIVE VOLTAGE DOUBLER
FIGURE 16. EXTERNAL CLOCKING
It is also possible to increase the conversion efficiency of the
ICL7660S and ICL7660A at low load levels by lowering the
oscillator frequency. This reduces the switching losses, and
is shown in Figure 17. 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 by which 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 a corresponding increase in the value of
C1 and C2 (from 10µF to 100µF).

Combined Negative Voltage Conversion and
Positive Supply Doubling
Figure 19 combines the functions shown in Figure 15 and
Figure 18 to provide negative voltage conversion and
positive voltage doubling simultaneously. This approach
would be suitable, for example, 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 negative voltage generation, 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.

FIGURE 19. COMBINED NEGATIVE VOLTAGE CONVERTER
AND POSITIVE DOUBLER
Regulated Negative Voltage Supply
In some cases, the output impedance of the ICL7660S and
ICL7660A can be a problem, particularly if the load current
varies substantially. The circuit of Figure 21 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 and ICL7660A’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 and ICL7660A, while maintaining
adequate feedback. An increase in pump and storage
capacitors is desirable, and the values shown provide an
output impedance of less than 5 to a load of 10mA.
Voltage Splitting
The bidirectional characteristics can also be used to split a
high supply in half, as shown in Figure 20. 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 15, +15V can be converted, via +7.5 and -7.5, to a
nominal -15V, although with rather high series output
resistance (250).

and ICL7660A may be found in application note AN051,
