Datasheet Summary
High Frequency 100 mA CMOS Charge Pump, Inverter/Doubler
Description The CAT661 is a charge- pump voltage converter. It can invert a positive input voltage to a negative output. Only two external capacitors are needed. With a guaranteed 100 mA output current capability, the CAT661 can replace a switching regulator and its inductor. Lower EMI is achieved due to the absence of an inductor.
In addition, the CAT661 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.
A Frequency Control pin (BOOST/FC) is provided to select either a high (typically 135 kHz) or low (25 kHz) internal oscillator frequency, thus...
