Technical Specifications:
The TC660EOA typically operates from a supply voltage of 1.5V to 5.5V. The output voltage is approximately the inverse of the input voltage (or twice the input voltage in doubling mode), with some voltage drop due to internal resistance. The output current capability depends on the input voltage and switching frequency. Consult the datasheet for specific values. The switching frequency is typically in the kHz range.
