LM78S40: Wide Input Inverting DC/dc regulator

Part Number: LM78S40
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5576

Tool/software:

I need to generate -15V from 24 Vdc supply. I need an inverting dc/dc converter, preferably with integrated FET with wide input voltage range (greater than 48V). Are there any available in TI portfolio?

  • Hello Shivalee,

    Thanks for reaching out to us via e2e.

    To generate a negative output voltage, you can use a Buck converter and connect the (positive) output of the converter to GND. 

    You can then use the GND of the converter as the negative output, like shown in this image: 

    To find the right product you can enter your requirements into Webbench Power Designer which will give you some proposals:

    Without knowing the output current or power requirement, I can only suggest using the LM5576 which has an integrated FET.
    For higher load currents above 1.3A, you may need to choose a controller with an external FET. 

    If these proposals are not in your favor, may I please ask you to enter a different thread with LM5576 as the components
    and add your questions there. 
    This way your request will directly get routed to the correct experts.

    Thanks and regards
    Harry

  • Hello Harry,

    Thanks for the suggestion. My output current requirements is max 1A, so I think this will work.
