Here is a simple way to spit a single floating power supply into +/- rails. It
can be for any voltage 6V-100V to give ñ3V to ñ50V.

The asymmetrical currents & voltages will affect the components needed (e.g.
transistors have to handle peak offset current & heat), in some applications,
e.g. value of 1K R may be 39K on 100V. Higher currents may need darlingtons or
P & N ch MOSFETs.

The above circuit should provide adequate balance for testing most things that
need a balanced supply.

D1 provides some cross over bias keeping the transistors in class B, 2 diodes
in series may do better but easy to get into class AB/A & get hot when this is
not needed!


Y Don't U send an interesting bul?
