Frequently Asked Questions
What is the input voltage range for TC962EPA, and can it be powered directly from a single 5 V supply?
TC962EPA accepts an input voltage from 3 V to 18 V, so it can be powered directly from a 5 V supply rail. This makes it a convenient choice for single-supply embedded designs that need a negative voltage for op-amps or ADC reference circuits without an additional power converter.
How does TC962EPA generate a negative supply voltage without an inductor?
TC962EPA uses a switched-capacitor charge-pump topology, where two external capacitors are cycled to invert the input voltage polarity. Because no inductor is required, the design fits in small PCB footprints with minimal EMI; typical external capacitor values are 10 µF to 100 µF depending on load current.
What package does TC962EPA come in, and is it suitable for through-hole assembly in prototype boards?
TC962EPA is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP package (JESD-30 R-PDIP-T8) with standard 2.54 mm through-hole pin spacing, making it ideal for breadboard prototyping and hand-soldered prototype boards. The DIP package also simplifies insertion into IC sockets for field replacement.
Is TC962EPA lead-free and RoHS compliant for use in regulated industrial equipment?
TC962EPA carries a JESD-609 e3 code, indicating it is lead-free and RoHS compliant, suitable for use in environmentally regulated industrial and commercial products. The device is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, covering most industrial control and instrumentation environments.
What is the typical lead time for TC962EPA, and should buyers plan safety stock for low-volume designs?
TC962EPA has a factory lead time of approximately 8 weeks, which is longer than commodity logic ICs. For low-volume designs, buyers should plan 10–12 weeks of safety stock buffer, especially in industrial or medical applications where production continuity is critical and alternative charge-pump parts may require schematic revision.
