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 (...
