Description
The CAT660 is a charge−pump voltage converter. It will invert a 1.5 V to 5.5 V input to a −1.5 V to −5.5 V output. Only two external capacitors are needed. With a guaranteed 100 mA output current capability, the CAT660 can replace a switching regulator and its inductor. Lower EMI is achieved due to the absence of an inductor.
In addition, the CAT660 can double a voltage supplied from a battery or power supply. Inputs from 2.5 V to 5.5 V will yield a doubled, 5 V to 11 V output voltage.
