Today’s low power boost converter ICs have been rejected by designers of products incorporating RF communications for two reasons. First, the converters use some form of variable-frequency control to maintain acceptable efficiency during periods of light load. Significant spectral energy in the sensitive 455kHz band can occur, introducing difficult interference problems with the system’s IF amplifier. Second, large output capacitors are required ...
