I have made a DC-DC step-up converter using MC34063A with following components
Ct=31 pF
Rsc=0.682 Ohm
Lmin=4 uH
Co=701 uF
R=180 Ohm
R1=1k R2=3k
and I used
**broken link removed**
for the design with following input parameters
Vin: 3V
Vout: 5V
Iout: 100mA
Vripple: 1mV(pp)
Fmin: 700kHz
The problem is the power consumption... at no load the current is about 4mA but as I start drawing 15mA @ 5V the total current reaches approx. 31mA.
I intend to use this converter for a low power application using a 3.6V lithium battery, but the converter current consumption of 16mA is beyond the budget.
How can I fix this problem?
