The ramp is linear and rise times in the order of 100ms are
possible. Since the circuit is voltage controlled, the ramp
rate is unaffected by load characteristics and maximum
output current is unchanged. Variants of this circuit can be
used for sequencing multiple regulator outputs.
DUAL POLARITY OUTPUT CONVERTER
The circuit in Figure 14a generates both positive and
negative 5V outputs with all components under 3mm
height. The topology for the 5V output is a standard buck
converter. The –5V output uses a second inductor L2,
diode D3 and output capacitor C6. The capacitor C4
