This non-isolated design supplies an adjustable output voltage between -150 V and -250 V at 10 mA for LIDAR applications. It operates over an automotive input voltage range of 6 V to 40 V and accepts a control voltage from 0 V to 3 V for output voltage adjustment. Using a single inductor and operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), this converter reference design offers a compact form factor and low cost.
Features
- Provides an adjustable output voltage from -150 V to -250 V
- Achieves an efficiency of greater than 70% over all outputs (12-V input and 10-mA output)
- Implements an inverting buck-boost with voltage doubler topology
- Uses a single standard inductor
- Achieves a VOUT to VIN ratio of greater than 40 in a compact size (31 mm x 55 mm)
