maximum switching frequency. The following equation
represents the output current for the ideal case (no
power losses) of Figure 5:
This means that a higher peak current is required to
achieve the same output current in the negative output
circuit as in the positive output circuit.
The output current for Figure 6 uses the same current
equation as the positive boost.
Output Voltage Control
The output voltage is set with a voltage divider to the
feedback pin (FB). For a positive output, the divider is
referred to GND; for a negative output, the divider is
referred to REF.
Output voltage can be adjusted with an internal DAC
summing current into FB through an external resistor.
The 5-bit DAC is controlled with a user-programmable
up/down counter. On power-up or after a reset, the
counter sets the DAC output to 10000 binary, or half-
scale.
