Generating bipolar voltage rails

01:01:21 | 13 FEB 2023

Many analog systems require a negative voltage rail and the most common application is in powering an op amp. There are multiple ways to generate this negative rail, and this training will dive into two of them:

  1. Polarity-inverting buck-boost (IBB) using a standard buck converter
  2. Fly-buck or Fly-buck/boost
