DESCRIPTION
The CAT660 is a charge-pump voltage converter. It will
invert a 1.5V to 5.5V input to a -1.5V to -5.5V output. Only
two external capacitors are needed. With a guaranteed
100mA output current capability, the CAT660 can replace
a switching regulator and its inductor. Lower EMI is
achieved due to the absence of an inductor.
In addition, the CAT660 can double a voltage supplied
from a battery or power supply. Inputs from 2.5V to 5.5V
will yield a doubled, 5V to 11V output voltage.
A Frequency Control pin (BOOST/FC) is provided to
select either a high (80kHz) or low (10kHz) internal
oscillator frequency, thus allowing quiescent current vs.
capacitor size trade-offs to be made. The 80kHz
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.
Both 8-pin DIP and SOIC packages are available in the
industrial temperature range.
The CAT660 replaces the MAX660 and the LTC660.
In addition, the CAT660 is pin compatible with the 7660/
1044, offering an easy upgrade for applications with
100mA loads.

For input voltages above 3V, LV may be

Oscillator control input. An external capacitor
can be connected to lower the oscillator

OSC and set the chip operating frequency.
The charge-pump frequency is one-half the

Voltage Conversion
Efficiency
Note 1. In Figure 1, test circuit capacitors C1 and C2 are 150µF and have 0.2Ω maximum ESR. Higher ESR levels may reduce efficiency and output
voltage.
Note 2. The output resistance is a combination of the internal switch resistance and the external capacitor ESR. For maximum voltage and efficiency
keep external capacitor ESR under 0.2Ω.
Note 3. FOSC is tested with C
OSC
= 100pF to minimize test fixture loading. The test is correlated back to C
OSC
=0pF to simulate the capacitance
at OSC when the device is inserted into a test socket without an external C
OSC
