TPS60403DBVR 60mA Charge Pump Voltage Inverter – Efficient Negative Voltage Generation

Description

The TPS60403DBVR is a high-efficiency charge pump voltage inverter designed to generate a negative output voltage from a single positive input supply. Operating with a fixed 250kHz frequency, this IC is specifically engineered for space-constrained applications requiring a simple negative rail for op-amps, RS-232 level shifters, or other analog circuitry. By utilizing a charge pump architecture, it avoids the need for bulky inductors, significantly reducing board footprint and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

This device is capable of delivering up to 60mA of output current, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of portable and low-power electronic designs. Its integrated circuitry ensures stable performance and reliable operation across the specified input range. Housed in a compact SOT-23 (SMD-5) package, the TPS60403DBVR is the ideal solution for generating secondary voltage rails in battery-powered devices, handheld instruments, and compact industrial modules where board space is at a premium.
