Product Overview
The TPS60400DBVT from Texas Instruments is an unregulated 60mA charge pump voltage inverter that generates a negative output voltage from a positive input ranging from 1.6V to 5.5V. Requiring only three small 1uF ceramic capacitors, it provides a compact and efficient solution for generating negative supply rails. The TPS60400 variant features a PowerSave mode that improves efficiency at low output currents. It is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package suitable for space-constrained applications.
