ENERATION
For applications that require it, a negative bias can be
easily generated using an inductorless charge pump
consisting of only four additional discrete components
(Figure 8).

Negative Bias Generation
This negative output is a mirror of the positive output
voltage. However, it is unregulated.
If a regulated negative bias is desired then this is also
possible with some additional components. A low current
shunt regulator (LX6431 or LX432) and a bipolor pass
element can form a simple negative voltage LDO (Figure
9).

APACITANCE
Improved efficiency and ripple performance can be
achieved by placing a feed-forward capacitor across the
feedback resistor connected to the output (Figure 2). A
recommended value of 1nF should be used.

AYOUT
Minimizing trace lengths from the IC to the inductor,
diode, input and output capacitors, and feedback
connection (i.e. pin 3) are typical considerations.
Moreover, the designer should maximize the DC input and
output trace widths to accommodate peak current levels
associated with this circuit.
