–3V A Cuk converter is a natural topology for a low noise
0.7A
converter. The Cuk converter is a dual of a buck boost
4.7µF
converter. C1 is the primary means of storing and trans-
ferring energy. Like a buck boost, the DC transfer function
is approximately VOUT/VIN = DC/(1 – DC). The output
voltage, though negative, can be higher or lower in mag-
nitude from the input. The two inductors can be separate
however, by placing them on the same winding input and
output current ripple can be greatly reduced. The addi-
tional slew control provided by the LT1534 will reduce the
high frequency content even further.
