Working Principles

The TC7660IJA operates based on the charge pump principle. It uses two external capacitors, C1 and C2, to store and transfer charge. The internal oscillator generates a square wave that alternately charges and discharges the capacitors. By controlling the switching frequency and capacitor values, the IC can either double or invert the input voltage.

In doubling mode, the input voltage is doubled across capacitor C1, resulting in an output voltage that is twice the input voltage. In inverting mode, the input voltage is inverted across capacitor C1, resulting in a negative output voltage.

The TC7660IJA finds applications in various fields, including:

1. Battery-powered devices: Provides voltage conversion for portable electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and portable audio players.
