Designing a Boost-Switching Regulator with the MCP1650 -  Microchip Application Note Published 1-Apr-05  (App Note added 2/06)

Get just enough boost voltage -  27-May-04 Issue of EDN  Adding a current-mirror circuit to a typical boost circuit allows you to select the amount of boost voltage and to ensure a constant difference between the input and the output voltages (Figure 1].  This circuit is useful for high-side-drive applications, in which a simple voltage doubler is unacceptable because of the voltage range of the components involved or where the input voltage can vary. [Design Idea by Kieran O'Malley, On Semiconductor, East Greenwich, RI]

Get more power with a boosted triode -  12-Jun-03 Issue of EDN This Design Idea is a reprint of an earlier one that contained errors in graphics (Reference 1]. Even though 6L6 beam-power tubes have been around for 66 years, they are still quite popular for use in electric-guitar Amplifiers, and its cousin, the 6CA7 (EL34] power pentode, is a favorite among audiophiles. [Design Idea by Dave Cuthbert, Boise, ID]
High Efficiency 2-Phase Boost Converter Minimizes Input & Output Current Ripple -  DN371  Design Notes (Linear Technology)  (App Note added 1/06)
High-Voltage Amplifier uses simplified circuit -  14-Oct-04  Issue of EDN  Many scientific instruments and sensors need ac high-voltage drive. High-voltage drive is useful for driving electrodes in many applications…. [Design Idea by Jui-I Tsai, Jun-Ming Shieh, Tai-Shan Liao, and Ching-Cheng Teng, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan]
Increasing Regulator Current -  An outboard pass transistor used to increase the current output of a voltage regulator IC….(added 01/2010) [Andy Collison designer]
LED Boost Switcher: Single AA Cell Powers Two LEDs at Constant Current  -  Single AA cell powers two LEDs at constant current…. [Circuit by Stepan Novotill]
LED HeadLamps -  This article includes circuits of DC-DC LED drivers step downs to run LEDs on less than Battery Volts, Boost for above. (added 4/02)
Linear Technology Magazine Circuit Collection Volume IV -  AN84 Linear Technology Application Note 84 is a collection of "power circuits" from the years 1996 through 1998 as seen in the pages of Linear Technology magazine.  This Application Note collects circuits that can output tens of Amps to circuits that can operate a handheld device for several years. In addition....(App Note added 1/06)
