    Figure 1. Schematic diagram of a Ćuk topology for generating negative voltages.

    ­The Ćuk topology is ideal for generating a negative output voltage from a positive supply voltage. Negative voltages are needed in many systems to enable useful readout of signals from certain sensors. For this, a signal chain may need to be supplied, for example, with +5V and –5V or even +15V and –15V. Ne
