Using Switching Regulators to Make Split Supply



I am trying to use two switch-mode regulators to create a split supply, where the first one regulates the positive voltage as per the application schematic in the datasheet and the second one works the same way, but references its output to GND and uses the GND pin as the negative voltage output. Is this valid? Here is my schematic:

Answer



You can make an LM2576 produce a negative regulated voltage - read the data sheet: -

You need to follow the circuit above to make it work this. A lot of buck regulators can be "pushed" into this mode of operation BTW such as this one from LT: -

Or this one: -

Some SEPIC controllers can also be used this way: -

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
