Re: 12v -> 16v Step-up

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Go to www.national.com and go to the POWER link. Here you can design a
switch mode power supply online and it gives you a parts list and
various
tests. Excellent site. In some cases they can even supply a PCB for
your
design.

Drop me an email if you have problems as I have used these devices in
more
than one design in the past and present.
