ICL7663S
CMOS Programmable Micropower
Positive Voltage Regulator
The ICL7663S Super Programmable Micropower Voltage
Regulator is a low power, high efficiency positive voltage
regulator which accepts 1.6V to 16V inputs and provides
adjustable outputs from 1.3V to 16V at currents up to 40mA.
It is a direct replacement for the industry standard ICL7663B
offering wider operating voltage and temperature ranges,
improved output accuracy (ICL7663SA), better temperature
coefficient, guaranteed maximum supply current, and
guaranteed line and load regulation. All improvements are
highlighted in the electrical characteristics section. Critical
parameters are guaranteed over the entire commercial
and industrial temperature ranges. The ICL7663S/SA
programmable output voltage is set by two external
resistors. The 1% reference accuracy of the ICL7663SA
eliminates the need for trimming the output voltage in most
applications.
The ICL7663S is well suited for battery powered supplies,
featuring 4µA quiescent current, low VIN to VOUT differential,
output current sensing and logic input level shutdown
control. In addition, the ICL7663S has a negative
temperature coefficient output suitable for generating a
temperature compensated display drive voltage for LCD
displays.

ICL7663S
6FN3180.5
July 21, 2005
Detailed Description
The ICL7663S is a CMOS integrated circuit incorporating all
the functions of a voltage regulator plus protection circuitry
on a single monolithic chip. Referring to the Functional
Diagram, the main blocks are a bandgap-type voltage
reference, an error amplifier, and an output driver with both
PMOS and NPN pass transistors.
The bandgap output voltage, trimmed to 1.29V ±15mV for
the ICL7663SA, and the input voltage at the VSET terminal
are compared in amplifier A. Error amplifier A drives a
P-channel pass transistor which is sufficient for low (under
about 5mA) currents. The high current output is passed by
an NPN bipolar transistor connected as a follower. This
configuration gives more gain and lower output impedance.
Logic-controlled shutdown is implemented via a N-Channel
MOS transistor. Current-sensing is achieved with
comparator C, which functions with the VOUT2 terminal. The
ICL7663S has an output (VTC) from a buffer amplifier (B),
which can be used in combination with amplifier A to
generate programmable-temperature-coefficient output
voltages.
The amplifier, reference and comparator circuitry all operate
at bias levels well 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 regulator loop.
Basic Operation
The ICL7663S is designed to regulate battery voltages in the
5V to 15V region at maximum load currents of about 5mA to
30mA. Although intended as low power devices, power
dissipation limits must be observed. For example, the power
dissipation in the case of a 10V supply regulated down to 2V
with a load current of 30mA clearly exceeds the power
dissipation rating of the Mini-DIP:
(10 - 2) (30) (10-3) = 240mW
The circuit of Figure 8 illustrates proper use of the device.
CMOS devices generally require two precautions: every
input pin must go somewhere, and maximum values of
applied voltages and current limits must be rigorously
observed. Neglecting these precautions may lead to, at the
least, incorrect or nonoperation, and at worst, destructive
device failure. To avoid the problem of latchup, do not apply
inputs to any pins before supply voltage is applied.
Input Voltages - The ICL7663S accepts working inputs of
1.5V to 16V. When power is applied, the rate-of-rise of the
input may be hundreds of volts per microsecond. This is
potentially harmful to the regulators, where internal
operating currents are in the nanoampere range. The
0.047µF capacitor on the device side of the switch will limit
inputs to a safe level around 2V/µs. Use of this capacitor is
suggested in all applications. In severe rate-of-rise cases, it
may be advisable to use an RC network on the SHutDowN
pin to delay output turn-on. Battery charging surges,
transients, and assorted noise signals should be kept from
the regulators by RC filtering, zener protection, or even
fusing.
Output Voltages - The resistor divider 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 resistors, using a potentiometer,
enables exact values for VOUT to be obtained. In most
applications the potentiometer may be eliminated by using
the ICL7663SA. The ICL7663SA has VSET voltage
guaranteed to be 1.29V ±15mV and when used with ±1%
tolerance resistors for R1 and R2 the initial output voltage
will be within ±2.7% of ideal.
The low leakage current of the VSET terminal allows R1 and
R2 to be tens of megohms for minimum additional quiescent
drain current. However, some load current is required for
proper operation, so for extremely low-drain applications it is
necessary to draw at least 1µA. This can include the current
for R2 and R1.
Output voltages up to nearly the VIN supply may be obtained
at low load currents, while the low limit is the reference
voltage. The minimum input-output differential in each
regulator is obtained using the VOUT1, terminal. The input-
output differential increases to 1.5V when using VOUT2.
Output Currents - Low output currents of less than 5mA are
obtained with the least input-output differential 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 obtained only as far as package
dissipation allows. It is strongly 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 current-limiting resistor, RCL, is placed in series
with VOUT2 and the SENSE terminal is connected to the
load side of RCL. When the current through 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 limited to this current. Therefore, when the maximum load
current (ILOAD) is determined, simply divide VCL by ILOAD to
obtain the value for RCL.
Logic-Controllable Shutdown - When equipment is not
needed continuously (e.g., in remote data-acquisition
systems), it is desirable to eliminate its drain on the system
until it is required. This usually means switches, with their
unreliable contacts. Instead, the ICL7663S can be shut
down by a logic signal, leaving only IQ (under 4µA) as a
drain on the power source. Since this pin must not be left
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 less than V+IN will
turn the outputs OFF. If there is a possibility that the control
signal could exceed the regulator input (V+IN) the current
from this signal should be limited to 100µA maximum by a
high value (1M) series resistor. This situation may occur
when the logic signal originates from a system powered
separately from that of the regulator.
Additional Circuit Precautions - This regulator has poor
rejection of voltage fluctuations from AC sources above
10Hz or so. To prevent the output from responding (where
this might be a problem), a reservoir capacitor across the
load is advised. The value of this capacitor is chosen so that
the regulated output voltage reaches 90% of its final value in
20ms. From:
In addition, where such a capacitor is used, a current-limiting
resistor is also suggested (see “Current-Limit Sensing”).
Producing Output Voltages with Negative Temperature
Coefficients -The ICL7663S has an additional output which
is 0.9V relative to GND and has a tempco of +2.5mV/°C. By
applying this voltage to the inverting input of amplifier A (i.e.,
the VSET pin), output voltages having negative TC may be
produced. The TC of the output voltage is controlled by the
R2/R3 ratio (see Figure 9 and its design equations).
Applications
Boosting Output Current with External Transistor
The maximum available output current from the ICL7663S is
40mA. To obtain output currents greater than 40mA, an
external NPN transistor is used connected as shown in
Figure 10.

Generating a Temperature Compensated Display Drive Voltage
Temperature has an important effect in the variation of
threshold voltage in multiplexed LCD displays. As
temperature rises, the threshold voltage goes down. For
applications where the display temperature varies widely, a
temperature compensated display voltage, VDISP, can be
generated using the ICL7663S. This is shown in Figure 11
for the ICM7233 triplexed LCD display driver.
