Figure 28. Positive Output Voltage Tripler
A single device can be used to construct a positive voltage tripler. The output voltage is approximately equal to 3V
in
minus
the forward voltage drop of each external diode. The performance characteristics for the above converter are shown below.
Note that curves A and C show the circuit performance with economical 1N4148 diodes, while curves B and D are with lower
loss MBRA120E Schottky diodes.

A zener diode can be used with the shutdown input to provide closed loop regulation performance. This significantly reduces
the converters output resistance and dramatically enhances the load regulation. For closed loop operation, the desired
regulated output voltage must be lower in magnitude than −V
in
. The output will regulate at a level of −V
Z
+ V
th(SHDN)
. Note that
the shutdown input voltage threshold is typically 0.5 V
in
and therefore, the regulated output voltage will change proportional
to the converters input. This characteristic will not present a problem when used in applications with constant input voltage.
In this case the zener breakdown was measured at 25 mA. The performance characteristics for the above converter are shown
below. Note that the dashed curve sections represent the converters open loop performance.

An adjustable shunt regulator can be used with the shutdown input to give excellent closed loop regulation performance. The
shunt regulator acts as a comparator with a precise input offset voltage which significantly reduces the converters output
resistance and dramatically enhances the line and load regulation. For closed loop operation, the desired regulated output
voltage must be lower in magnitude than −V
in
. The output will regulate at a level of −V

regulator can be from either the TLV431 or TL431 families. The comparator offset or reference voltage is 1.25 V or 2.5 V
respectively. The performance characteristics for the converter are shown below. Note that the dashed curve sections represent
the converters open loop performance.
