Hi,
I'm working on a solar project with a super capacitor. Under test, a boost converter is able to consume energy until ~800mV at which it slowly cuts out. I would like to replace the silicon npn BJT with a germanium or other technology (FET?) that can reduce this value further to get the most juice out of the capacitor at night.
Design requirements are minimal:
- 100k switching frequency
- 500mA current
A recommendation for a part number and where to buy would be super.
Regards,
Mark
This topic should probably be moved to power electronics, oops.
