PS1 Triple Output Power Supply
The PS1 power converter is designed to operate from a 12 V battery and provide computer supply voltages of +5 V, and ±12 V. It also includes voltage and current sensing outputs for power management of battery-operated, mobile, or remote applications.
Specifications
Output: +5 V at 1.25 A; ±12 V at 200 mA±
12 V out regulation: linear regulators 78L12 and 79L12Input: 8 V to 18 V for 5 V; 11 V minimum input for
±12 V regulation+5 V output ripple:
±20 mV pk-pk at switching frequency+5 V output switching spikes: 100 mV pk-pk
SEPIC topology – allows input voltage to be less than output voltage
