Inverting DC/DC Controller Converts a Positive Input to a Negative Output with a Single Inductor

David Burgoon - Applications Engineer Dec 30th 2013
There are several ways to produce a negative voltage from a positive voltage source, including using a transformer or two inductors and/or multiple switches. However, none are as easy as using the LTC®3863, which is elegant in its simplicity, has superior efficiency at light loads and reduces parts count compared to alternative ...
