Equation 41
An important point to take into account is that the ground pin of the device is connected to
the negative output voltage. Therefore, the device is subjected to a voltage equal to V
which must be lower than 36 V (the maximum operating input voltage).

Floating boost current generator
The A5975AD does not support a nominal boost conversion as this topology requires a low
side switch, however, a floating boost can be useful in applications where the load can be
floating. A typical example is a current generator for LEDs driving, as the LED does not
require a connection to the ground.
