Hello!
I would like to use a high discharge rate Li-Ion Cell (3.7V) and design an adjustable power supply, my requirements are:
1-10V output voltage.
If possible up to 10A. (i realise that may not be possible when my output is high voltage)
Load resistance from 0.2 or 0.5Ω up to 3Ω.
Smallest possible size since it's portable.
I was wondering which is better, use a dc-dc step up to raise my voltage up to 12V and then use a mosfet with PWM to trimm down the voltage or use an adjustable dc-dc?
I will have a pic microcontroller available.
Linear technology has some very small dc-dc converters but i am not sure which path to follow.
What do you guys think?
