Frequently Asked Questions
How much output current can TC1044SEOA supply from a 5 V input when inverting to a negative rail?
TC1044SEOA can supply up to 20 mA of output current when operating from a 5 V input rail, making it suitable for light-load negative-supply circuits such as op-amp biasing, LCD contrast, and reference voltage generation in portable designs.
What is the typical oscillator frequency of TC1044SEOA and how does it affect output ripple?
The internal oscillator runs at 45 kHz, which sets the switching rate of the charge-pump capacitors. Higher frequency reduces the required external capacitor size and lowers output ripple, enabling compact filter sections with capacitors in the 10 µF range for most applications.
Is TC1044SEOA suitable for battery-powered designs operating down to 1.5 V input?
Yes. TC1044SEOA operates over a wide input voltage range from 1.5 V to 12 V, so it functions with a single alkaline or NiMH cell down to approximately 1.5 V. This makes it viable for low-power portable instruments across its full -40°C to 85°C temperature range.
What are the RoHS compliance and package details for TC1044SEOA when qualifying it for a lead-free BOM?
TC1044SEOA is supplied in an SOIC-8 package and carries a Pb-free (e3) JEDEC finish code, confirming lead-free solder compatibility. The RoHS-compliant construction makes it straightforward to include on a lead-free BOM without additional exemption tracking.
