  advertisement Create a Virtual Ground with a Sink/Source Voltage Regulator
  Design Note 115
  Gary Maulding Resistive dividers are frequently used as supply splitters
  to establish a virtual ground. This approach is often
  effective, but the circuit designer must work around
  the resistive divider’s severe performance limitations.
  A fundamental limitation of a resistive divider is the
  high power dissipation required to obtain any suitable
  output impedance. A divider made from 240О© resistors,
  as in Figure 1a, pulls over 10mA of quiescent current
  and has a DC output impedance of 120О©. In contrast,
  the LT1118-2.5 splitter shown in Figure 1b achieves an
  output impedance of less than 0.025О© with a quiescent
  current of 600μA. The resistive divider’s high output
  impedance restricts its use to high impedance, low frequency signal sources; otherwise, the output impedance

  New Micropower, Low Dropout Regulators Ease Battery
  Supply Designs – Design Note 121
  Mitchell Lee and John Seago
  Three new linear regulators simplify the design of
  battery-operated equipment. The LTВ®1521 is a 300mA,
  positive low dropout regulator with micropower quiescent current and shutdown. The LT1175 is a 500mA
  negative complement with adjustable current limit. A
  third product, the LT1118, has the unique capability of
  maintaining output regulation while sourcing or sinking
  load current.
  The LT1521 contains all of the features associated
  with battery-operated applications. In designs where
  memory must be powered continuously, the LT1521’s
  12ОјA quiescent current eliminates the need for a
  separate micropower backup supply. In shutdown the
  quiescent current drops to 6ОјA. Figure 1 shows an
  example application using the LTC В®1477 as a means
  of disconnecting all circuitry except for memory and
  ON/OFF control logic. The LTC1477 protected high
  side switch draws only 10nA in shutdown, eliminating
  itself as well as its load as a factor in battery shelf life.
  In battery-backed memory applications, the output of
  the LT1521 can be held up by the backup battery while …

  High Efficiency Linear and Switching Solutions for Splitting a Digital Supply &mdash DN172

  High Efficiency Linear and Switching Solutions for Splitting
  a Digital Supply – Design Note 172
  Dave Dwelley and Gary Maulding
  It can be inconvenient to generate a split supply in a
  typical digital system. The classic solution is to use a
  pair of resistors between 5V and GND to create a 2.5V
  “ground” for analog circuitry (Figure 1). Unfortunately,
  the resultant “ground” has a painfully high impedance
  and the resistors draw a large amount of supply current.
  The output can be buffered with an op amp to lower
  the impedance, but a specialized op amp is required to
  handle any significant bypass capacitance at the output.
  This Design Note presents two alternate methods of
  creating a split supply that can provide good transient
  response while conserving supply current.
