Positive-to-Negative Converter: Inductor Selection
For most applications the inductor will fall in the range of
10 H to 100 H. Higher values reduce the input and output
ripple voltage (although not as much as step-down con-
verters) and also reduce core loss. Lower inductor values
are chosen to reduce physical size and improve transient
response but do increase output ripple.
Like the boost converter, the input current of the positive-
to-negative converter is calculated at full load current.
Peak inductor current can be significantly higher than
output current, especially with smaller inductors (with

tor current at minimum V

Positive-to-Negative Converter: Output Diode
The output diode conducts current only during the switch

converters is equal to V

Positive-to-Negative Converter: Input and
Output Capacitors
The output capacitor is normally chosen by its effective
series resistance (ESR), because this is what determines
output ripple voltage. Both input and output capacitors
need to be sized to handle the ripple current safely.
