TC7660SCOA

Microchip Tech · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8

TC7660SCOA from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BOOST input Switching frequency boost pin; connecting it to V+ raises the oscillator frequency from 10 kHz typical to 45 kHz typical.
2 CAP+ passive Positive connection for the charge pump (flying) capacitor, which is charged to the input voltage in the first half of the switching cycle.
3 GND power_in Ground terminal, the input and output zero volt reference.
4 CAP- passive Negative connection for the charge pump (flying) capacitor; observe correct orientation when using a polarized capacitor.
5 VOUT power_out Negative output voltage and connection for the charge pump output capacitor, giving -1.5V to -12V for a +1.5V to +12V input.
6 LV input Low voltage pin; connect to GND for V+ below 3.5V, otherwise leave it floating (never connect to GND for V+ above 3.5V).
7 OSC input Oscillator control input; an external capacitor to slow the oscillator, or an external clock, can be applied here.
8 V+ power_in Positive power supply input of +1.5V to +12V (absolute maximum +13V); bypass to GND with a low ESR capacitor.
