Negative output Voltage

Thread Summary

The user seeks to modify an LTC1624 buck converter circuit to generate -5V from a +12V battery supply, aiming to supply an operational amplifier (AOP) with +5V and -5V using a common ground. The final answer provides a simplified schematic and explains that the GND pin should be grounded, while the OUT pin serves as the VNEG and reference for the negative output. The user successfully simulates +5V and -5V but is confused about the common ground connection for the AOP. The solution clarifies that the GND pin of the LTC1624 should be connected to the system ground, and the OUT pin should be used as the -5V supply.

Hello,

I found a component that may be suitable for my application the LTC1624 (please see the DS in this attached). I don't understand very well how it works this electronic assembly :

Is it possible to delete M2/M3 and R3 to have something simpler. I have only +12V (comes from the battery voltage) and I need -5V with 1A to the ouput. Thank you for your helps.

Regards
