Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

(OP)
I'm using a 12 volt battery to power a non-inverting amplifier and I need to use the battery as a +/-5 volt power supply. How do I go about doing this?

RE: Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

How much current do U need, tolerances, ripple ?

RE: Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

DC to DC converters.

RE: Using one 12V power supply to provide +/-5 Volts

Suggestion: Create the zero dc neutral (0VDC) at 6V. Then, finetune the voltage to plus minus 5V by potentiometers or trimmers.
