EDN, October, 2005
Charge coupled device (CCD) imagers, LCDs, op amps and many other circuits require both a positive and negative power supply. Typically, two DC/DC converters are used--one for the positive supply and another for the negative supply. However, the use of two ICs and their related circuitry add cost and complexity. There are single converter topologies that develop plus/minus supplies, but usually the second output suffers from poor regulation. In addition, in order to produce a second output of different amplitude, non-standard, transformer turns ratios or post regulators become necessary, which also increases cost, complexity and efficiency losses.
The LT[R]3472 dual DC/DC converter simplifies the design of dual, positive and negative, supplies by combining...
