Product details

Charge pump in an 8-DIP — field-swappable and socket-friendly

The MAX660CPA+ is a charge pump voltage converter from Analog Devices that generates either a negative output equal to the input voltage or a doubled positive output, using just two external capacitors. It accepts an input from 1.5V to 5.5V and delivers up to 100 mA. Switching frequency is selectable between 10 kHz and 80 kHz, letting you trade capacitor size against ripple.

1.5V to 5.5V input — runs from a single lithium cell or 3.3V rail

The input range covers a single Li-ion cell (3.0V–4.2V), two alkaline cells, or a regulated 3.3V or 5V rail. Minimum input is 1.5V, so it can operate from a nearly depleted battery. Maximum input is 5.5V — stay under that; 5V is fine, but a 6V supply exceeds the rating.

100 mA output — enough for op-amp rails, small displays, or level shifters

The single output delivers up to 100 mA. That is enough to power a dual-supply op-amp circuit from a single battery, bias an LCD contrast adjust, or generate a negative rail for an RS-232 transceiver. If your load needs more than 100 mA, this is not the part — look at a switching regulator instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum output current of MAX660CPA+?

The maximum output current is 100 mA from a single output. It can be configured for positive or negative output voltage.

MAX660CPA+ vs MAX660CSA+ - what's the difference?

The MAX660CPA+ is in an 8-pin DIP through-hole package (0.300" wide, 7.62 mm pitch), while the MAX660CSA+ is in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The electrical specs — input range, output current, switching frequency — are identical. The CPA+ is socket-friendly and easier to swap in the field; the CSA+ is for PCB reflow assembly.

Does MAX660CPA+ require any external capacitors?

Yes, a charge pump needs two external capacitors — one flying capacitor and one output reservoir capacitor. Typical values are 10 µF for both at 10 kHz switching frequency, but the datasheet provides guidance for other values based on load and ripple requirements.
