AD Analog Devices ADM8660 Data Sheet Manual
Summary
The ADM660/ADM8660 is a high-efficiency charge-pump voltage converter designed to accurately generate negative or boosted supply rails from limited input voltages ranging from +1.5V to +7V. It provides essential power solutions for complex portable electronics, making it ideal for handheld instruments, remote data acquisition systems, and computers requiring single-supply operation (inverting the voltage) or higher voltages (doubling). This guide covers detailed technical specifications, detailing operational modes, optimal capacitor selection, high power efficiency metrics, and advanced low-power shutdown functionality for seamless system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the device generate a negative voltage supply?
Yes, inverting input voltages (+1.5 V to +7 V) produces a negative output (-1.5 V to -7 V).
How do I control the charge-pump frequency?
Use the Frequency Control (FC) pin; it can be set to 25 kHz or 120 kHz by driving this pin.
What is the quiescent current when using shutdown mode on ADM8660?
The low power shutdown pin (SD) reduces the quiescent current to 300 nA.
Which capacitors are required for operation?
Only two small external capacitors, C1 and C2, are needed. For 100 mA output, using a 10 µF capacitor is generally suitable.
