Descriptions:

The MAX660CSA+T is a charge-pump DC-DC converter that inverts the input voltage to provide a negative output. It does not require inductors, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The device is commonly used in generating negative supply rails for analog circuits, RS-232 interfaces, and sensor biasing.

Features:

• No Inductors Required – Uses only external capacitors for operation.
• Low Power Consumption – Ideal for battery-powered applications.
• Adjustable Switching Frequency – Allows optimization for efficiency or noise.
• High Output Current – Supports up to 100mA.
• Wide Input Voltage Range – Operates from 1.5V to 5.5V.
• Compact Package – 8-pin SOIC for space-saving designs.
