### **Descriptions:**
The MAX660EPA+ is a monolithic, CMOS charge-pump voltage inverter that converts a positive input voltage in the range of +1.5V to +5.5V to a corresponding negative output voltage (-VIN). It is designed for applications requiring a simple and efficient way to generate a negative supply from a positive input. The device operates with minimal external components, typically requiring only two flying capacitors for operation.
### **Features:**
- **Wide Input Voltage Range:** Operates from +1.5V to +5.5V.
- **High Output Current:** Supports up to 100mA.
- **Low Power Consumption:** Quiescent current of 120µA (typical).
- **No Inductors Required:** Uses only external capacitors for operation.
- **Compact Design:** Available in an 8-pin PDIP package.
- **High Efficiency:** Up to 99% power conversion efficiency.
- **Low Output Impedance:** Ensures stable performance under load.
