inverting switcher

Started by John Larkin November 25, 2019
I have +12 from a wart, and I need -1.2 and -5 to power some analog
stuff and ECL.

I can do this

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b0iff93k1k2ct6/TPS_Inv_1.JPG?raw=1


Problem is, I don't want to run Tina and there is no LT Spice model.

It may go into burp mode at my modest load currents, so I could get a
lot of output ripple. It might want some lead compensation too. I
guess I should breadboard it.

This will be noisy, so maybe I'll put the switchers on the bottom of
the board, and I'd have the ground plane between them and the
jitter-sensitive stuff.

We have MIC4690 in stock. That might be a better choice. Again, no
model.

So get one that's sync rect with a force-CCM option.

If it is a wallwart just reverse the + and - coming from it and use a normal circuit? :=)
Sounds like low current

Why not a switched capacitor solution?

I'd need maybe five wall warts. That might work. Actually, there are very few negative-to-negative switching regulators around. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

I need voltage conversion and fairly high currents, which charge pumps aren't very good for. And they tend to be spikey noisy. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

Or use an AC wall wart. Cheers -- Clive

No, I should have put it better, something like this: http://panteltje.com/pub/wallwart_to_negative_IMG_0249.JPG Yes for more than one voltage not so easy.

I have one board that has 16 different supply rails. This little one I'm considering would have +12, +5, +4, -1.2, and -5. And one variable from 2.5 to 6 or so. From a 12 volt wart, probably. Both neg supplies would be 100 mA or so. Fast parts are power hogs. In a box this size: http://www.highlandtechnology.com/DSS/J730DS.shtml I'm thinking I have to put the power supplies on the bottom of the board. I can move the board up a bit and have a 0.2" gap below. Manufacturing doesn't mind parts on both sides. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics
