Hello sirs.
I have a PCB where I have a precision 3.3V power supply with 1A capacity.
I will need another power supply with 12V or 15V or 20V or 24V capable of supplying around 80mA DC, generated from this 3V3 rail.

I will change the PCB layout when needed, and the only power source available to generate the "boost" voltage is the 3.3V rail.

Somebody recomends controller ICs for this purpose?

I have many types and values of inductors here so I just need to get some samples of some controller ICs, to test them in practice.

This power supply can be not insulated (no need of a flyback insulated design).
I can buy the Boost controllers on Digikey.

The parameters are:

3.3V -> 12V (80mA or more, if possible)
3.3V -> 15V (80mA or more, if possible)
3.3V -> 20V (70mA or more, if possible)
3.3V -> 24V (60mA or more, if possible)

Recommendations?

This power supply will be used in supersonic applications. Help?

I might consider this device. The datasheet is here.

There are a number of slightly cheaper options but they won't all do the 24V 60mA option as that requires about 500mA from the 3.3V supply, and one significant parameter is the maximim current they can switch.

p.s. what's a supersonic application?
