CAT661/D
CAT661
High Frequency 100 mA
CMOS Charge Pump,
Inverter/Doubler
Description
The CAT661 is a charge−pump voltage converter. It can invert a
positive input voltage to a negative output. Only two external
capacitors are needed. With a guaranteed 100 mA output current
capability, the CAT661 can replace a switching regulator and its
inductor. Lower EMI is achieved due to the absence of an inductor.
In addition, the CAT661 can double a voltage supplied from a
battery or power supply. Inputs from 2.5 V to 5.5 V will yield a
doubled, 5 V to 11 V output.
A Frequency Control pin (BOOST/FC) is provided to select either a
high (typically 135 kHz) or low (25 kHz) internal oscillator frequency,
thus allowing quiescent current vs. capacitor size trade−offs to be made.
The 135 kHz frequency is selected when the FC pin is connected to V+.
The operating frequency can also be adjusted with an external capacitor
at the OSC pin or by driving OSC with an external clock.
8−pin SOIC package is available. For die availability, contact
ON Semiconductor marketing.
The CAT661 can replace the MAX660 and the LTC660 in applications
where higher oscillator frequency and smaller capacitors are needed. In
addition, the CAT661 is pin compatible with the 7660/1044, offering an
easy upgrade for applications with 100 mA loads.
