regulators), provide ultralow-noise, positive and
negative voltage rails for high-performance analog
circuitry, such as operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACs,
and audio amplifiers.
Because of the ultralow noise levels at high voltages,
analog circuitry with high-voltage input supplies can
be used. This characteristic allows for high-
performance analog solutions to optimize the voltage
range, maximizing system accuracy.
POST DC/DC CONVERTER FILTERING
Most of the time, the voltage rails available in a
system do not match the voltage specifications
demanded by one or more of its circuits; these rails
must be stepped up or down, depending on specific
voltage requirements.
DC/DC converters are the preferred solution to step
up or down a voltage rail when current consumption
is not negligible. They offer high efficiency with
minimum heat generation, but they have one primary

systems.
The very-high power-supply rejection ratio (> 55dB)
and low noise at the audio band of the TPS7A49xx
maximize performance for audio applications; see
Figure 19.
