DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
660 is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor
voltage converter. It performs supply voltage conversion
from positive to negative from an input range of 1.5V to
5.5V, resulting in complementary output voltages of
– 1.5V to – 5.5V. It also performs a doubling at an input
voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, resulting in a doubled
output voltage of 5V to 11V. Only two external capacitors
are needed for the charge pump and charge reservoir
functions.
The converter has an internal oscillator that can be
overdriven by an external clock or slowed down when
connected to a capacitor. The oscillator runs at a 10kHz
frequency when unloaded. A higher frequency outside the
audio band can also be obtained if the BOOST pin is tied
to V
+
.
The LTC660 contains an internal oscillator, divide-by-two,
voltage level shifter and four power MOSFETs.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range; all other limits and typicals are at T
A
= 25°C.
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Connecting any input terminal to voltages greater than V
+
or less
than ground may cause destructive latch-up. It is recommended that no
inputs from source operating from external supplies be applied prior to
power-up of the LTC660.
Note 3:
The output resistance is a combination of internal switch
resistance and external capacitor ESR. To maximize output voltage and
efficiency, keep external capacitor ESR < 0.2Ω.
Note 4:
f
OSC
is tested with C
OSC
= 100pF to minimize the effects of test
fixture capacitance loading. The 0pF frequency is correlated to this 100pF
test point, and is intended to simulate the capacitance at Pin 7 when the
device is plugged into a test socket and no external capacitor is used.
Note 5:
OUT may be shorted to GND for 1 sec without damage, but
shorting OUT to V
+
may damage the device and should be avoided. Also,
for temperatures above 85°C, OUT must not be shorted to GND or V
+
,
even instantaneously, or device damage may result.

Tie LV to GND when the input voltage is less than 3V.
LV may be connected to GND or left open for input
voltages above 3V. Connect LV to GND when
overdriving OSC.
An external capacitor can be connected to this pin to
slow the oscillator frequency. Keep stray capacitance
to a minimum. An external oscillator can be applied
to this pin to overdrive the internal oscillator.
