Abstract
A boost regulator that comprises a capacitor adapted to couple in parallel with a load, a switch coupled to the capacitor and to a diode, a comparator coupled to the load and receiving a reference voltage, and a circuit logic component that receives an output of the comparator and an output of a duty cycle signal generator. An output of the circuit logic component couples to the switch and is capable of activating and de-activating the switch.
