It drives a P-channel power MOSFET to generate a negative output and requires just a single inductor to complete the circuit. Output voltages from –0.4V to –150V are typically achievable with higher voltages possible, only limited by external components. The LTC3863 offers excellent light load efficiency, drawing only 70μA quiescent current in a user programmable Burst Mode operation. Its peak current mode, constant frequency PWM architecture provides for good control of switching frequency and output current limit. The switching frequency can be programmed fro...
