Linear Technology LTC1983-5 100mA Negative 5V Power Supply Quick Start Guide
This guide explains how to set up and operate the LTC1983-5 charge pump inverter, which generates a regulated -5V output at up to 100mA from a 3V to 6V input. It is designed for compact applications like portable devices and single-supply systems needing low quiescent current. The circuit uses small surface-mount components for minimal board space.
To use, connect input power between Vin and GND, attach a load between GND and Vout, and toggle JP1 to enable or disable operation.
