ICL7660CPAZ

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The ICL7660CPAZ is a CMOS voltage converter charge pump regulator manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates within an input voltage range of 1.5 V to 12 V and provides an adjustable output voltage between -1.5 V and -10 V. The device delivers an output current of 20 mA at a switching frequency of 10 kHz. Designed for through-hole installation, it is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. The component functions as a boost or inverting topology converter with a single output configuration.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPAZ' against official Renesas documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Confirm availability status as distribution data indicates potential discontinuation or limited stock for this specific variant. Ensure the through-hole PDIP package matches the target PCB footprint requirements before procurement.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, low-cost solution for generating negative voltages from a positive source is required. It is suitable for applications where moderate output current up to 20 mA is sufficient. Consider the 10 kHz switching frequency for noise-sensitive designs and ensure the through-hole package fits the assembly process constraints.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the ICL7660 series of CMOS voltage converters. The series includes variants with different packages such as SOIC and DIP, and varying temperature ranges. The ICL7660CPAZ specifically denotes the commercial temperature grade version in a PDIP package, distinguishing it from industrial grade or surface-mount alternatives within the same functional family.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

Check for ICL7660ACPAZ or ICL7660SCBAZ depending on required package type and temperature range. Verify if higher current variants like ICL7660ACPA are needed for increased load requirements.
