Hi,
I'm building a boost converter which incorporates the circuit below for a feedback reference. As expected, the voltage at OUT declines with the capacitor voltage which results in a predictable reference "range" for the output of the converter (the set voltage decays). How can I optimize this circuit with passive components only to minimize this range? Alternatively, I am interested in basic circuits that can provide a non-temperature dependent voltage reference. The goal of this project is to build from scratch and make use of minimal power replenished by a solar panel. The present solution is to design within the declining reference voltage which is acceptable as the final outputs are LEDs.
Regards,
Mark
