Hello,
I need to find a DC_DC with a Input range between 20 to 30V with a negative output with -15V. The current must be at least 400mA. Can you help me to chose a good DC-DC converter?
Best Regards

There are several options for this. TPS54260 is probably a good choice.
Hello John,
But how can i chance to a schematic to a -15V, because i saw a app note and i only see possitive voltage

You may get by with a lower current part such as TP54160. You have to derate the current by a factor of (1-D). I'll leave it to you to make the calculation.
TPS54160 is active, but you may want to consider the improved TPS54160A with tighter EN specs.
I don't support that part, but probably not. You have to calculate the peak switch current in inverting buck boost mode. It will be higher than the load current by a factor of 1-D plus Ilp-p/2. the app note I referenced earlier will tell you how.
No TPS54060 and LM2574 are both only rate for 500 mA output. That is fine for a buck converter where Iout = Isw. For inverting buck boost the switch current is higher. During the on time, all the switch current goes from Vin to GND thru the inductor. All the output current is drawn directly from the output caps. During the off time, the energy stored in the inductor is used to both supply the output current and recharge the output caps. So the switch current is highr than the required output current. If you read the app note it will become clear. then you can choose the appropriate device current rating based on your particular parameters.
So in need to chose a DC-DC with a bigger rate current and select the rith inductor to give 500mA when is on and to charge de caps when is off, that is right?
Right, you can calculate the required peak current then chose the appropriate converter. The app note should contain what you need.
