(Continued)
It is possible to regulate the output of the LM2660/LM2661 by use of a low dropout regulator (such as LP2951). The whole con-
verter is depicted in
Figure 8.
This converter can give a regulated output from −1.5V to −5.5V by choosing the proper resistor ratio:
where, V
ref
= 1.235V
The error flag on pin 5 of the LP2951 goes low when the regulated output at pin 4 drops by about 5%. The LP2951 can be shut-
down by taking pin 3 high.

Also, as shown in
Figure 9
by operating LM2660/LM2661 in voltage doubling mode and adding a linear regulator (such as
LP2981) at the output, we can get +5V output from an input as low as +3V.
