across the internal and external
power MOSFET.
6.2 Inverting buck-boost
The L5980 can implement the step up/down converter with a negative output voltage.
Figure 33 shows the schematic to regulate -5 V: no further external components are added
to the standard buck topology.
The relationship between input and output voltage is:
Equation 35
So the duty cycle is:
