Hi,
This is an in-depth look at the boost controller chip from Microchip.
I have 3.3 volts and I need at least 18 volts for the backlight on a TFT.
Of screen I tried many inductors, even after the video was published, I received a large 10uH inductor. I could not get enough current through it fast enough to give me anything like 18 volts at 100mA.
