Split Supply Generator - Occasionally a designer needs a dual power supply to power a circuit that is operating with signals near or at ground but the only available supply is a single polarity, usually positive. Many excellent IC solutions are available but a suitable solution for many projects may be constructed from "junk box" parts. The simple circuit below will generate about 9 volts and -4 volts from a single 5 volt supply with sufficient current to power a simple op-amp circuit. The positive voltage drops to about 7 volts when supplying 7 mA and the negative voltage drops to about 3.5 volts when supplying 3.5 mA (1k loads). Although this isn't exactly a +- 15 volt supply, this is plenty of voltage and current for many op-amp circuits and will allow the output of most op-amps to swing below zero volts and will allow most op-amp inputs to measure voltages below zero volts. This circuit uses the CD4049 which is a high current version of the CD4069 which will also work with somewhat lower current capability. __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

Stepdown Converter Uses a Ceramic Output Capacitor - 12/31/69 EDN Design Ideas: Many stepdown (buck) dc/dc-converter ICs incorporate a voltage-mode-control algorithm. As a result, for stable operation in continuous-conduction mode, the application circuit's output capacitor is normally a high-ESR tantalum type for two reasons. The portion of output ripple due to ESR provide as the current-mode signal that's necessary for cycle-to-cycle stability. in the frequency domain, this capacitor also provide as a zero that cancels a pole in the buck converter's second-order LC filter, thereby shifting operation back to the stable region by reducing the ripple's phase shift to less than 90°.

Gated-oscillator regulators simply self-clock at whatever frequency is necessary to maintain the output voltage.
