## Add negative charge pumping for boost converter * Last week: * We added LDO for boost IC, then we got better ripple rejection and spike eliminate * Positive * This week: * We'd like to generate **Negative** rail form the boost converter ### Circuit ![](https://i.imgur.com/VRYa0xV.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/M59HEHc.png) ### Analyze ||Ton|Toff| |---|---|---| |Pos. side|Vsw=0<br>Inductor charge current<br>Co+ discharged voltage |Vo=Vi*(eiff)<br>Inductor discharge current <br> Co+ charged voltage| |Neg. side|Co- discharged|Co- charged to SW pin voltage <br>Current through R_chg and D2| #### Off stage ![](https://i.imgur.com/su0sTJM.png) #### On stage ![](https://i.imgur.com/DOBPyqx.png) ### ~~Test result (very strange)~~ ~~**Voltage drop while neg. side is connected**~~ ~~Maybe R / C / L value should be fixed~~ Today morning fixed: Maybe is connection of bread board So I'd like to adopt hold board make and test again #### To neg. wire open: Normally ![](https://i.imgur.com/ekjSzDS.png) #### To neg. wire connected: Boost out and LDO out are dropped ![](https://i.imgur.com/0kHxnDF.png) ### Summery #### Pros * Don't need to feed negative voltage for application with +/- rail * 5Vusb, 18650(2.7v ~ 4.2V) can generate +/- 12V power rail with very low cost * Very high efficiency(>90%) #### Cons * Negative rail is decide by boost ic * Default voltage when Rf and Rg is empty * Using LDO set target negative voltage * [-V_target < -(V_default + V_drop)](https://i.imgur.com/IXvlQqg.png) * Drop and heat * -12V to -5V @ 500mA, some package would > 80 deg #### etc. * Make hole board version * Optimize with R/L/C ### Reference * [TI: Generating Negative and Positive Voltage Rail With Boost Converter TLV61048](https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slvaej3) * [Last week report](https://hackmd.io/@BelleII-CDC-Trig-NTU-DeWei/rJ-lptHa3) * [Generating Negative Output Voltage from Positive Input Voltage Using MAX17291 Boost Converter IC with Active Discharge Feature](https://www.analog.com/en/design-notes/generating-negative-output-voltage-from-positive-input-voltage.html)
