PRODUCTION DATA
An external resistor divider adjusts the output voltage of the TPS65131-Q1 inverting converter stage. Connect this divider to the FBN pin. Unlike the feedback divider at the boost converter, the reference point of the feedback divider is not GND, but Vref. So the typical value of the voltage at the FBN pin is 0V. The minimum recommended output voltage at the inverting converter is –15V. Feedback divider current considerations are similar to the considerations for the boost converter. For the same reasons, the feedback divider current should be in the range of 5µA or higher. The voltage across R4 is 1.213V. Based on those values, the recommended value for R4 should be lower than 200kΩ in order to set the divider current at the required value.
Calculate the value of resistor R3, as a function of the needed output voltage (VNEG), with Equation 2:
In this example, with R4 = 121.2kΩ, choose R3 = 1MΩ to set VNEG = –10V.
