ICL7665AEPA+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

ICL7665AEPA+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the ICL7665AEPA+?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the ICL7665AEPA+ is 12V, but it's recommended to keep it below 10V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the ICL7665AEPA+ as a voltage regulator?
  No, the ICL7665AEPA+ is a voltage converter, not a voltage regulator. It's designed to convert a positive input voltage to a negative output voltage, but it doesn't regulate the output voltage.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the ICL7665AEPA+?
  The output voltage of the ICL7665AEPA+ is approximately -V_IN, where V_IN is the input voltage. However, the actual output voltage may vary depending on the input voltage, output current, and other factors.
• What is the maximum output current that the ICL7665AEPA+ can provide?
  The maximum output current that the ICL7665AEPA+ can provide is 40mA, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 20mA for reliable operation.
• Can I use the ICL7665AEPA+ in a switching power supply?
  No, the ICL7665AEPA+ is not designed for use in switching power supplies. It's intended for use in low-power, low-frequency applications such as audio circuits and instrumentation.
