Configuring Multiple Supplies for Split Supply Operation

Split supply operating uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive-negative supply.

Two Positive Voltages To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection. The positive output terminals will provide the required voltages with respect to the common connection.
