Dual Vout Supply Chip

[NV185864]

I've sucessfully built a video amplifier using the
LT1193. Now I want to put the +5V and the -5V on the same board with a ~12VDC input. Does anyone have a good transformerless buck circuit for this task?
Oh by the way I just used the circuit shown in the application information part of the LT1193 data sheet.

Can you use a 7805 and a charge pump (7660) to get the -5V?

[Chris Smith]

You can use a voltage divider to get your plus and minus voltages as long as its not tied to the rails.

Geo
Digikey and Mouser carry a variety of DC-DC converter chips. If your power requirements are lo, you might want to browse thru their listings. Small and simple but may be a little pricey for your project The nice thing is they require no external components.

I couldn't find any DC-DC converters with enough output current. I need + 100mA - 100mA.
The 7805 / 7660 looks like it will work. That is if I can figure out how to use the 7660. At first blush it looks very simple. With two 10uF caps and +5V in I get -5V out? What about the switch to ground from pin 6?

[Engineer1138]

It looks like the pin 6 connection is only if your input voltage is below 3.5V. I don't remember it being there from my use of the older versions of the 7660, but the Maxim version at http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/ICL7660-MAX1044.pdf shows it.

I don't think you can get 100mA from a 7660 though. I believe they are limited to about 25mA since they're designed for opamp supplies and the like.

Ask the guy that sold you the LT1193. Linear Tech makes lots of power supply chips. 1054 sounds like one that will flip a 5V input to -5V...

[sagitarius867]

u can use 7812 and 7912 to get +/- 12V DC output

[sagitarius867]

or u can use a clamping network to convert 12 to 5v, simple few resistors

LT1193 looks good. I'll post my finished design when complete. Thanks for the help.
