CASCADING DEVICES

Cascading the LM828s is an easy way to produce a greater negative voltage (e.g. A two-stage cascade circuit is

shown in Figure 14).

effective output resistance is equal to the weighted sum of each individual device:

(5)

This can be seen by first assuming that each device is 100 percent efficient. Since the output voltage is different

on each device the output current is as well. Each cascaded device sees less current at the output than the

since the increasing of n significantly reduces the efficiency, and increases the output resistance and output

voltage ripple.

COMBINED DOUBLER AND INVERTER

In Figure 15, the LM828 is used to provide a positive voltage doubler and a negative voltage converter. Note that

the total current drawn from the two outputs should not exceed 40 mA.
