Low ripple negative voltage supply for a disc drive

An apparatus and method are disclosed for generating a low ripple negative voltage suitable for use in a disc drive. A negative voltage supply comprises a pulse generator circuit which generates first and second driver signals in relation to a load of the negative voltage supply. The first driver signal comprises a series of periodically occurring first pulses and the second driver signal comprises a series of periodically occurring second pulses. The first and second pulses are mutually exclusive in time so that at least a minimum delay of selected, nonzero length is provided between transitions of subsequently occurring first and second pulses. The negative voltage supply further comprises a regulator circuit, operably coupled to the pulse generator circuit, which generates the negative voltage in response to the first and second driver signals utilizing a pair of storage capacitors which alternately accumulate and transfer charge to an output capacitor in response to the first and second driver signals.
