PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in
Table 3-1.TABLE 3-1:
PIN FUNCTION TABLE
3.1
Charge Pump Capacitor (CAP+)
Positive connection for the charge pump capacitor, or
flying capacitor, used to transfer charge from the input
source to the output. In the voltage-inverting configura-
tion, the charge pump capacitor is charged to the input
voltage during the first half of the switching cycle. Dur-
ing the second half of the switching cycle, the charge
pump capacitor is inverted and charge is transferred to
the output capacitor and load.
It is recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series
resistance) capacitor be used. Additionally, larger
values will lower the output resistance.
3.2
Ground (GND)
Input and output zero volt reference.
3.3
Charge Pump Capacitor (CAP-)
Negative connection for the charge pump capacitor, or
flying capacitor, used to transfer charge from the input
to the output. Proper orientation is imperative when
using a polarized capacitor.
3.4
Output Voltage (VOUT)
Negative connection for the charge pump output
capacitor. In the voltage-inverting configuration, the
charge pump output capacitor supplies the output load
during the first half of the switching cycle. During the
second half of the switching cycle, charge is restored to
the charge pump output capacitor.
It is recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series
resistance) capacitor be used. Additionally, larger
values will lower the output ripple.
3.5
Low Voltage Pin (LV)
The low voltage pin ensures proper operation of the
internal oscillator for input voltages below 3.5V. The low
voltage pin should be connected to ground (GND) for
input voltages below 3.5V. Otherwise, the low voltage
pin should be allowed to float.
3.6
Oscillator Control Input (OSC)
The oscillator control input can be utilized to slow down
or speed up the operation of the TC7660. Refer to
“Changing
the
TC7660
Oscillator
Frequency”, for details on altering the oscillator
frequency.
3.7
Power Supply (V+)
Positive power supply input voltage connection. It is
recommended that a low ESR (equivalent series resis-
tance) capacitor be used to bypass the power supply
input to ground (GND).
