May 7, 2009[Ideas For Design] Step Down A Negative Voltage Without Using An Inductor
When you need to step down a negative voltage in a lowcurrent application, a non-inductor configuration offers two advantages: ease of use and a low number of external components. Such step-down converters can be implemented with two chargepump devices. The first produces a positive output by doubling and inverting the negative input voltage, and the second acts as an inverter to produce the desired negative output (...
June 22, 2006[Ideas For Design] Comparator-Based Circuits Easily Shift Voltage Level, Flip Polarity
BUDGE ING, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. Budge_Ing@maximhq.com Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an opposite-polarity pulse train into a positive-or negative-pulse output. Here are some simple circuits that can do the job easily and reliably. For positive-supply systems, the circuit of ...
