Getting +5 +12 and -12 VDC

[Wes00]

I'm Getting the +5 and +12 by using an 16VDC AC to DC wall plug and feeding it to fixed voltage regulaors. The problem is getting tthe -12. The regulator requires a negative voltage input, and I would hate to have to use 2 ACDC plugs.

Don'forget the 100nF decoupling caps for in- and output terminals...

Hello,

if you only have the 16Vdc output from the wall plug you can use the ICL7660CPA integrated circuit, but with this one using an input voltage from +1,5 to +10 Vdc you can get the negative output from -1,5 to -10 Vdc...

Thanks for the help

I've looked at the ICL7662 that could give me the -16, and the applications found in the specs are for what I want to do. Now I have to find a place that sales it near me. :wink:

Those things look pretty sweet. Might have to get myself some.
