Detailed Description
The ICL7663S is a CMOS in tegrated cir cuit incorporatin g all
the functions of a voltage regulator plus protection circuitry
on a singl e m onolit hic chip. Referri ng to the Funct ional
Diagram, the main blocks are a bandgap-t ype voltage
referen ce, an error amplifier, a nd an output driver with bot h
PMOS and NPN pass transistors.
The bandgap output volt age, trimmed to 1.29V ±15mV for
the ICL7663SA, and the input volt age at the VSET terminal
are compared in amplifi er A. Error amplifier A drives a
P-channel pass transistor which is sufficient for lo w (under
about 5mA) currents. The high current output is passed by
an NPN bipolar transistor connected as a follower. This
confi guration gives more gain and lower output impedance.
Logic-c ontrolled shutdown is impl em ented via a N-Channel
MOS transistor. Current -sensing is achieved with
com parator C, which functions with the VOUT2 terminal. The
ICL7663S has an output (VTC) from a buffer ampl ifier (B),
which can be used in combination wit h am plifier A to
generate programma ble-tem perature-coef ficient output
voltages.
The am plif ier, reference and comp arator circu it ry all operat e
at bi as l evels wel l below 1µA to achieve extremely low
quiescent current. This does limit the dynamic response of
the circuits, however, and transients are best dealt with
outside the r egulator loop.
Basic Operation
The ICL 7663S is desi gne d to reg ulate batter y volt ages i n t he
5V to 15V region at maximum l oad currents of about 5mA to
30mA. Although intended as low power devices, power
dissip ation limits m ust be obs erved. For example, the power
dissip ation in t he case of a 10V supply regulated down to 2 V
with a load current of 30mA clearly exceeds the power
dissip ation ra ti ng of the Mini-DIP:
(10 - 2) (30) (10-3) = 240mW
The circuit of Figu re 8 illustrates proper use of t he device.
CMOS devices generally r equir e two precautions: every
input pin mus t go somewhere, and maximum values of
applied voltages and current limits must be rigorously
observed. Neglecting these precau ti ons m ay lead to, at the
least , incorrect or nonoperation, and at worst, destructiv e
device failur e. To avoid the problem of latch up, do not apply
inputs to any pins before supply vol tage is applied.
Input Voltages - The ICL7663S accepts working input s of
1.5V to 16V. W hen power is applied, the r ate-of-rise of the
input may be hundreds of volts per microsecond. This is
potentially harmful to the regulators, where internal
operating curren ts ar e in the nanoampere ra nge. The
0.047µF capacitor on the devi ce side of the swi tch will lim it
inputs to a safe level arou nd 2V/µs. Use of this capacitor is
suggested in all applications. I n severe rate-of- ri se ca ses, it
may be adv isable to use an RC network on the SHutDowN
pin to delay output turn-on. Batter y char ging surges,
transients, and assort ed noise signal s should be kept from
the regula tor s by RC fi lt ering, zener pro tection, or even
fusing.
Output Vol tages - The resistor divid er R2/R1 is used to
scale the reference voltage, VSET, to the desired output
using the formula VOUT = (1 + R2/R1) VSET. Suitable
arrangements of these resi stors, using a potentiometer,
enables exact values for VOUT to be obtained. In most
appli cations the potentiom eter may be eliminat ed by using
the ICL7663SA. T he ICL7663SA has VSET vol tage
guaranteed to be 1.29V ±15mV and when used with ±1%
tolerance res istors for R1 and R2 the ini tial ou tput voltage
will be within ±2.7% of ideal.
The low l eakage curren t of the VSET terminal allows R1 and
R2 to be tens of m egohms for mi nimum a dditional quiescent
drain current. However, som e load current is r equire d for
proper operati on, so fo r extremel y low-d rain appl icat ions it is
necessary to draw at le ast 1µA. This can inc lude th e current
for R2 and R1.
Output volt ages u p to near ly th e VIN suppl y may b e obt ained
at low load currents, while t he low l imi t i s the r eference
voltage. The minimum input-output differential in each
regulator is obtained using the VOUT1, termin al . Th e in put-
output differenti al inc reases to 1.5V when using VOUT2.
Output Cu rrents - Low ou tpu t curr ents of less t han 5mA ar e
obtai ned with the least input-output diff erential from the
VOUT1 terminal (connect VOUT2 to VOUT1). Where higher
currents are needed, use VOUT2 (VOUT1, should be left
open in this case).

High output currents can be ob tained only as far as package
dissip ation allows. It i s str ongly recommended that output
current-limit sensing be used in such cases.
Current-Limit Sensing - The on-chip comparator (C in the
Functional Diagram ) permits shutdown of the regulator
output in the event of excessive current drain. As Figure 8
shows, a cur rent-li miting resistor, RCL, is placed in series
with VOUT2 and the SENSE terminal is connec ted to the
load si de of RCL. When the current thr ough RCL is high
enough to produce a voltage drop equal to VCL (0.5V) the
voltage feedback is by-passed and the regulator output will
be l imite d to t his c urr ent. Theref ore, wh en the maximum loa d
curr ent ( ILOAD) is determi ned, si mpl y div ide V CL by ILOAD to
obtain the val ue for RCL.
Logic- C ontrollable Shutdown - When equipment is not
needed continuou sly (e.g., in remote data-acquis it ion
systems), it is desirable to eliminate its drain on the system
until it is required. This usuall y means switches, with their
unreliable contacts. Instead, the ICL7663S can be shut
down by a logic signal, leaving only IQ (u nder 4µA) as a
drain on the powe r source. Since this pin must not be lef t
open, it should be tied to ground if not needed. A voltage of
less than 0.3V for the ICL7663S will keep the regulator ON,
and a voltage level of more than 1.4V but le ss than V+IN will
turn the outputs OF F. If there is a possibility that the contr ol
signal coul d exceed the regulator input ( V+IN) the current
from this signal sho uld be limited to 100µA max imum by a
high value (1M) series resis tor. This situation may occ ur
when the logic signal originates from a system powered
separately from th at of the regulator.
Additional Cir cuit Precauti ons - This re gulato r has poor
rejection of voltage fluctuat ions from AC sources above
10Hz or so. To preve nt the outp ut f rom responding (where
this might be a problem), a reservo ir capacitor acros s the
load is advised. The value of this capacitor is chosen so that
the reg ulated output vol tage rea ches 90 % of its final value in
20ms . Fro m:
In add iti on, wher e suc h a capaci tor is used, a current -li miti ng
resistor is also suggested (see “Current-Limi t Sensi ng”).
Producing Output Volt ages wit h Negative Temperature
Coefficients -The ICL 7663S has an addi ti onal output which
is 0. 9V rel ative to GND and has a tempco of +2.5mV/oC. By
applyin g this voltage to the inverting input of amplifier A (i.e.,
the VSET pin), out put voltages having negative TC may be
produced. The TC of the output voltage is control led by the
R2/R3 ratio (se e Figure 9 and its design equations).
Applications

Figure 10.

Generati ng a Temperatu re Comp ensa ted Display Drive Voltage
Temperature has an important effect in the variati on of
threshold volt age in multiplexed LCD displays . As
temperature rises, the threshold volt age goes down. For
appli cations where the display temperature vari es widely, a
temperature compe nsated display vol tage, VDISP, can be
generated using the ICL7663S. This is shown in Figure 11
