Hrm, if there is a way to boost them past the 5v then I don't see how given the inductors are internal on those ICs. I will freely admit I am about as far from an expert on these things as one can be however. Haven't even started my EE classes yet :] I have made a 12v->400v BC before for...

I looked at those Switcher ICs, but it appears none support anywhere near my needed output current. As for the transistor I hadn't picked one yet, I was waiting to see if anyone had better ideas that I hadn't thought of to get this motor to 20V.

Hi. I have a blower motor I am trying to run at 20v from a 12vdc system. At 12v it draws 12A, but I need it to get to a higher RPM. I'm not sure what the surge current is (turning on). Anyway, I was talking to someone else and they didn't think increasing the voltage with a BC would increase the...
