Sounds like a plan. I'm interested in a boost converter for several projects.

The issue I'm having is the compromise between using a single big IGBT with a huge inductor at 20Khz or so or going SIC mosfet's at a few hundred Khz, perhaps interleaved, with much smaller size/higher efficiency.
I read about IGBTs from someone ... around January of this year .. GaS? 100 KHz, 1200V. Something like that. It looked very interesting - the inductors were so much smaller that the extra cost was *ALMOST* a wash. They were actually for sale, not just sampling, so I had missed the sample announcement somehow.
