GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC1044S is a pin-compatible upgrade to the Indus-
try standard TC7660 charge pump voltage converter. It
converts a +1.5V to +12V input to a corresponding –1.5V
to –12V output using only two low cost capacitors, eliminat-
ing inductors and their associated cost, size and EMI.
Added features include an extended supply range to 12V,
and a frequency boost pin for higher operating frequency,
allowing the use of smaller external capacitors.
The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal frequency
of 10kHz. Frequency is increased to 45kHz when pin 1 is
connected to V
+
. Operation below 10kHz (for lower supply
current applications) is possible by connecting an external
capacitor from OSC to ground (with pin 1 open).
The TC1044S is available in both 8-pin DIP and
8-pin small outline (SOIC) packages in commercial and
extended temperature ranges.
