In the past I have designed boost converters in burst mode, with peak current control, but never with a PWM-controlled loop. Outputs: +5 @ 25mA, -5V @ 20mA Can someone point me to a tutorial? Thanks!

Is it for a tracking chip that goes into people's necks?

I don't think they make batteries that thin.

As I said, I have no experience (*) with PWM'd boost converters, though lots of those with low output current, running burst mode (they have little or no stability issues). As Larkin would snark, If you've got something technical to say, then say it, otherwise STFU :-{) (*) Unlike some posters lurking here, I readily admit areas of which I have little or no expertise. Then I listen, learn and ultimately become the expert ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

I owe you another sip or two or... Though probably at some other location than Long Island. I sent those horse's-asses in Huntington (and only you will appreciate why I say that) an E-mail, "As I sit here in Rochester, in my _office_ (with a _door_), looking out my _window_ at the melting snow, with a _door-pass_ badge hanging around my neck, and with my laptop sitting there connected to the customer's _network_ and the _Internet_, I was thinking of you fellows at @#$%... >:-} " I doubt they'll invite me back ;-) Though you never know...
