General Description
The ILC6660 monolithic, charge-pump voltage inverter converts a +1.5V to +5.5V input to a corresponding -1.5V to -5.5V output. Using only two low-cost capacitors, the charge pumps 100mA output replaces switching regulators, eliminating inductors and their associated cost, size, and EMI. Greater than 90% efficiency over most of its load-current range combined with a typical operating current of only 120µA provides ideal performance for both battery-powered and board-level voltage conversion applications. The ILC6660 can also double or split the output voltage of an input powered supply or battery, providing +9.5V or +2.3V at 100mA from a +5V input.
