Sorry for the OT post, but I figure that since this is something common to embedded projects you guys might have an elegant solution. I'm looking to create a contrast voltage (typ -13V 10mA) and a LCD Drive voltage (min -23V 10mA), onboard I have +5V, +3.3V and Vin which is typically +12V. Ideally the contrast should be digitally controllable. The big part of the problem: it needs to be relatively cheap. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out the best way to do this. The best way that I can think of so far is going to be via voltage multipliers. I.e. take 3.3, invert and quadruple to get -13.2V for the contrast, and then double again to get -26.4V for the LCD Drive. I don't know however if I can handle 10mA this way after octupling the voltage. I'm trying to stay away from switched regulators, as they can get expensive. Thanks for any suggestions that you may have. -- Sean
