RE: 12v -> 16v Step-up

["Jon Whiten" <jon@xxxxxxx>]

A switching regulator can do this and there are chips on the market
that
only need a few capacitors, a couple of resistors and an inductor to get
a
result.  However, it is outside my capabilities to get this sort of
thing
working!

So, in short, yes...  Where to buy one off the shelf?  No
idea!
