The TPS60400DBVR is an inverting charge pump voltage inverter from Texas Instruments in SOT-23-5, generating a negative output voltage from a positive input (1.6-5.5V). The output voltage is approximately -VIN with up to 60mA load current. The charge pump uses a two-phase switching cycle: Phase 1 charges the flying capacitor (CFLY) to VIN (IN to CFLY+ and GND to CFLY-), Phase 2 inverts the capacitor connection (CFLY+ to GND, CFLY- to OUT), transferring charge to the output capacitor and producing -VIN at OUT. The switching frequency is 20kHz at light load (PFM mode) and up to 250kHz at heavy load, reducing the output ripple at higher currents. The output resistance is approximately 15 ohms, meaning the output voltage droops at higher loads: VOUT = -VIN + (ILOAD x 15). At 30mA load with VIN=5V, VOUT = -5V + (-0.45V) = -4.55V. No inductors are required, making the solution extremely compact (only 3 ceramic capacitors needed: CIN, CFLY, COUT). The device is unregulated (output tracks -VIN); for regulated negative output, use TPS60401 (-5V) or TPS60402 (-3V). The quiescent current is 65uA. The -DBVR suffix specifies SOT-23-5, tape-and-reel. Applications include: negative rail for dual-supply op-amps, LCD bias, and GaAs FET gate bias.
