TLE2426 Three Terminal Virtual Ground Rail Splitter Component Introduction Learning Electronics Lesson 0032

TLE2426 is a small 3 terminal (transistor like) component that can split a supply voltage for low power applications. They are expensive though. You are probably better off just making your own rail splitter circuit with common components. I like using them while making videos because they aren’t very distracting.

Rail splitters take the full supply voltage and usually they output half that voltage. When you use that output voltage as a virtual ground 0V reference point, then each supply voltage is more positive or negative than the virtual ground.

  • 10V can be split into +5V, 0V, and -5V.
  • 18V can be split into +9V, 0V, and -9V.
