Product Overview
The TPS60401 is a Texas Instruments charge pump voltage inverter used for unregulated negative output voltage generation from a positive input supply. Its power output is specified as -VI, making it suited to circuits that require a negative rail derived from an available positive rail.
The device supports a 1.6 V to 5.5 V input voltage range, with recommended input operation from 1.8 V to 5.25 V. At OUT, the recommended output current range is 0 mA to 60 mA, while continuous output current is rated to 80 mA maximum under absolute maximum ratings.
For the TPS60401 fixed-frequency option, the internal switching frequency is 13 kHz minimum, 20 kHz typical, and 28 kHz maximum. Typical output ripple is 20 mV p-p at 5 mA with 10 uF flying and output capacitors. The package is SOT-23 (DBV), 5 pins, with PFLI marking for TPS60401DBV.
