Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL431, TLV431

Dear TI:
    My customer need a solution for -100mV Vin,output voltage need adjusted in real time. Vout=-70mV, -60mV,-50mV , etc, with a difference of 10mV for each output.

    Is there any solution recommendation? Thanks! 

Regards!

  • Hi Eric,

    It's not quite clear to me. Is your Vin -100 mV? What is the variation/tolerance on it? Is there another voltage in the system?

    How much output current do you need? What is the range of output voltage that is needed?
  • Hi Chris:
    There is a -2V in system, customer used -2V turn to -100mV, and the -100mV need turn to other voltage.

    How much output current do you need? What is the range of output voltage that is needed? What is the variation/tolerance on it?
    ----Output current need 500mA, output voltage range is -50mV to -90mV, the tolerance is 5mV.

    Regards!

  • Hi Eric,

    Thanks for explaining.

    Having just negative voltages makes this complicated. I've asked our linear regulator team to look at this as well.
  • Hi Eric,

    Would figure 31 in the TL431 D/S work for you?  You would need to use the TLV431, with its lower Vref voltage (below your -2V input).  You could adjust the output voltage by feeding a voltage into the REF pin of the TLV431.
