- 50 mA maximum output current for LCD bias, EEPROM programming, and LED drive
- 125 kHz fixed-frequency switching minimizes external capacitor size to 0.1 µF
- Input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V covering single-cell lithium and regulated rails
- Maximum output voltage clamp up to 9 V for protection against overvoltage
- 6-pin SOT-23 package occupying less than 10 mm² of board area
- Low quiescent current for battery-powered portable equipment
Applications
The TC1240ECHTR is widely used in portable consumer electronics, handheld instruments, and IoT devices that need a higher programming or bias voltage derived from a single lithium cell or 3.3 V regulator without the size and EMI of an inductor-based boost converter. It is also applied in LCD contrast-bias generators, EEPROM high-voltage programming rails, and RS-232 transceiver charge pumps where 50 mA at twice the input voltage is sufficient. The tiny SOT-23-6 footprint makes it a natural fit for wearable electronics and space-constrained sensor modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can TC1240ECHTR supply the EEPROM programming voltage directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller rail?
Yes. With a 3.3 V input, TC1240ECHTR delivers approximately 6.6 V at up to 50 mA, which covers the 5 V to 6.5 V VPP programming voltage required by many serial EEPROM devices without a separate boost converter or charge-pump IC.
What external capacitor values does TC1240ECHTR require for its 125 kHz charge-pump operation?
The device operates with flying and output capacitors as small as 0.1 µF to 1 µF in ceramic X5R or X7R dielectric, making the total BOM only 3 passive components on a PCB footprint under 15 mm² for the complete power-conversion circuit.
How does TC1240ECHTR compare to inductor-based boost converters for noise-sensitive LCD bias applications?
As a switched-capacitor doubler, TC1240ECHTR generates no magnetic field and no inductor-related EMI, making it preferable to boost converters in LCD bias or audio applications where magnetic interference or switching noise floor affects display contrast uniformity or audio SNR.
What RoHS and lead-free compliance status does TC1240ECHTR carry for EU market shipments?
TC1240ECHTR carries the Pb-free code 'Yes' and JESD-609 code e3, confirming it is manufactured with lead-free solder and compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU restrictions on hazardous substances for electronic equipment sold in the European Union.
