Split Rail Linear Power Supply

I thought it would be interesting to do a theory video on linear power supply design.

Split rail linear power supply. I build up a simple low voltage supply to setup the framework for the l. Each output can supply up to 250 ma of output current. This document outlines a step by stepmethod for designing the split rail power supply. Power supplies are available at mouser electronics from industry leading manufacturers mouser is an authorized distributor for many power supply manufacturers including artesyn bel power cosel cui inc delta mean well phoenix contact recom tdk lambda traco power vicor xp power more.

Splitting a rail using the voltage reference will often mean compromising a bit on the symmetry of the split for example if a 3v3 rail is to be split then the closest would be to use the 1 8v output reference which gives a 1 8 1 5v asymmetrical supply.

Figure 2 is a plot of the input current versus the output current for the circuit in figure 1.

The fly buck method is a more complex technique. The tps65133 is designed to supply any system requiring 5 0 v supply rails. The split rail power supply uses a wide input voltage step downregulator as an inverting power supply to create the negative supply rail. The positive supply rail is created from a standard off the shelfcoupled inductor from coilcraft.

For step by step details see the application report creating a split rail power supply with a wide input voltage buck regulator charge pumps are a popular and easy way of inverting positive rails. The input supply voltage range is suitable for use with lithium ion batteries or from a fixed 3 3 v supply.
