  DN-43 Simple Techniques to Generate a Negative Voltage Bias Supply
  PDF, 38 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
  A low-power negative supply voltage can be developed from a positive input supply using some very common PWM control ICs. Typical applications include generating a -5V to -12V supply for analog function ICs (OP amps), RS-232 communication circuits, and MOSFET or IGBT gate drives at power levels below a few watts. This design note describes a low-power negative output voltage +5 to ?5V inverter usi

  U-100A UC3842/3/4/5 Provides Low-Cost Current-Mode Control
  PDF, 507 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
  The fundamental challenge of power supply design is to realize simultaneously two conflicting objectives: good electrical performance and low cost. The UC3842/3/4/5 control ICs are integrated pulse-width modulators (PWMs). These inexpensive IC controllers provide all the performance advantages of current-mode operation. In addition the UC3842 series is optimized for efficient power-sequencing of

  DN-65 Considerations in Powering BiCMOS ICs
  PDF, 100 Kb, File published: Sep 5, 1999
  Bipolar linear integrated circuits have been with us for years in the form of PWM and PFC controllers supervisory circuits and other circuits. Since these devices have traditionally used relatively high-voltage (35V) bipolar processes powering was not a concern. In addition many of these ICs contained high-current protection zeners to keep higher voltages from damaging the devices. With a numb
