The MAX660MX/NOPB is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a CMOS, switched-capacitor voltage converter specifically designed for voltage multiplication applications. This IC allows the generation of positive and negative voltages from a single positive voltage input.
One of the key features of the MAX660MX/NOPB is its ability to double the input voltage, which means it can generate an output voltage that is twice the input voltage. This voltage multiplication feature is useful in various applications such as RS-232 level shifting, LCD biasing, and generating negative supply rails for analog circuitry.
The IC operates over a wide voltage range, typically from +1.5V to +5.5V, making it suitable for low-power applications powered by small batteries
