I am trying to design a dual rail power supply for a photo diode detector. I don't want to use those dual output switched mode power supply modules because they tend to have a lot of ripple. Anyone disagree? I my solution is to use a switched capacitor voltage inverter chip followed by a -ve linear regulator for the -ve supply. I am having problems finding: 1. LDO -ve linear regulators and 2. surface mount switched capacitor inverters that can accept more than 5.5V input with > 50kHz switching freq. Anyone tell me how it should be done? ______________________________________________________ The contents of this e-mail are privileged and/or confidential to the named recipient and are not to be used by any other person and/or organisation.
