I am looking for an intergrated circuit that would charge a bank of 4 capacitors in parallel and then discharge them in series. I have a 1 volt dc source.
I saw just such an IC in a trade magazine yesterday. It is a swiching boost IC made by Austriamicrosystems.
The ad said it will run on 0.66V and boost up to a range of 2.5 - 5.0 Volt.
Designed for single cell supply.
