DESCRIPTION
The LME series of DC-DC converters are
optimised for low-power operation. Due to
the low quiescent current they are able to
offer efficiencies up to 75%. The use of
advanced magnetics ensures a minimal
quiescent current of around 2.5mA which
ensures that efficiency is maximised in low
power applications. They are ideally suited
to generating a negative supply where only
a positive rail exists.

When operated with additional external load capacitance the rise time of the input voltage will determine the
maximum external capacitance value for guaranteed start up. The slower the rise time of the input voltage the
greater the maximum value of the additional external capacitance for reliable start up.
