Positive to Negative Converter
Other features include a specified ±4% tolerance on
output voltage under all conditions of input voltage
and output load conditions, and ±15% on the
oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included,
featuring typically 85 μA standby current. Self
protection features include a two stage current limit
for the output switch and an over temperature
shutdown for complete protection under fault
conditions.
