I'm open for suggestions on a boost regulator that will suck batteries dry. Preferably with self-starting oscillation AND sync input, so that it cooperates with the rest of the rig, preferably low side switcher (polarity is irrelevant - it will suck batteries), and preferably with polarity protection, and preferably not picky for the input voltage.
My idea is to supply my rig with 12V regulated, and any ripple to be in sync with the rest of the rig, and to feed it with any battery available by the point they entirely give up the ghost. Say, a charge of 4 AA batteries, or a single LiION cell ... whatever.
I have some ideas in my head, but it was 12 years ago that I played with such regulators and I'll appreciate someone with new mindset on the problem to join in.
Any takers?
